XSEDE HPC Summer Boot Camp

This four-day workshop (Jun 3-6) will be presented via telecast. It is being offered by XSEDE and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. Topics covered include MPI, OpenMP, OpenACC and accelerators. This event will conclude with a special hybrid exercise contest that will challenge the students to apply their skills over the following three weeks and be awarded the Sixth Annual XSEDE Summer Boot Camp Championship Trophy. In addition, an XSEDE Badge will be available to those who complete the Challenge.
