Introductory and Advanced Supercomputing Workshops Orientation and Introduction October 8 - 9, 1990 Vector and Parallel Processing October 10 - 12, 1990 The Cornell National Supercomputer Facility will hold two workshops on October 8-9 and 10-12, 1990, at Cornell University. The CNSF features two IBM ES/3090 600J supercomputers. Each has six vector facilities and provides one gigabyte of virtual memory per user application. The first workshop will provide a general orientation to these facilities, including the use of large memory, FORTRAN program development tools, and an overview of visualization. These two days will be of special benefit to new users. The second workshop will cover vectorization techniques and an introduction to parallel processing. Participants will learn how to use Parallel FORTRAN and parallel programming tools. ==================================================================== | Orientation and Introduction | |==================================================================| | October 8 | October 9 | |=============================|====================================| | Introduction to VM/CMS | FORTRAN Program Development Tools | |-----------------------------|------------------------------------| | Getting Started at the CNSF | Introduction to Visualization and | | | Animation | -------------------------------------------------------------------- ==================================================================== | Vector and Parallel Processing | |==================================================================| | October 10 | October 11 | October 12 | |===================|=====================|========================| | Introduction to | Introduction to | Introduction to | | Vectorization | Parallel Processing | Distributed Processing | | | |------------------------| |-------------------|---------------------| Introduction to | | | | Clustered FORTRAN | | Assembler and | Using Parallel |------------------------| | Memory Management | FORTRAN | Parallel Programming | | for Vectorization | | Tools | -------------------------------------------------------------------- Participants may register for the Orientation and Introduction workshop (for users new to the CNSF October 8-9), Vector and Parallel Processing Workshop (October 10-12), or both sections. In addition to the topics listed above, there will be three special lectures during the week: Andrew Abrahams, NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the Theory Center/CNSF, and Cornell University Astronomy Department "Making Gravitational Waves in Numerical Experiments" Gove Effinger, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Skidmore College "The Polynomial 3-Primes Conjecture" Steven Lantz, NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the Theory Center/CNSF, and Cornell University Astronomy Department "Simulations of Convection with Magnetic Fields" Accommodations The following accommodations are within one mile of the CNSF Training Facility and many restaurants and shops. Attendees are responsible for their own reservations, and for meals. Paid parking is available on campus. Commercial airport limousine service is also available.
