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.
