INTERNATIONAL SPRING SCHOOL ON HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
HighPer 2018
San Sebastián / Donostia, Spain
April 23-27, 2018
Organized by:
Materials Physics Center (CSIC-UPV/EHU),
Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC),
and
Rovira i Virgili University

*****************************************************************************
--- Early registration deadline: March 30, 2018 ---
*****************************************************************************
SCOPE:
HighPer 2018 will be a research training event with a global scope
aiming at updating participants about the most recent advances in
the critical and fast developing area of high performance
computing, which covers a large spectrum of current exciting
research and industrial innovation with an extraordinary potential
for a huge impact on scientific discoveries, medicine,
engineering, business models, and society itself. Renowned
academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views
with the audience.
Most subareas of high performance computing will be displayed,
from foundations, infrastructure and management to applications.
Major challenges in the field will be identified through 1 keynote
lecture, 19 five-hour and fifteen-minute courses, and 1 round
table, which will tackle the most active and promising topics. The
organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract
the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a
main component of the event.
An open session will give participants the opportunity to present
their own work in progress in 5 minutes. Moreover, there will be
two special sessions with industrial and recruitment profiles.
ADDRESSED TO:
Master students, PhD students, postdocs, and industry
practitioners will be typical profiles of participants. However,
there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of
academic degrees. Since there will be a variety of levels,
specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the
courses. Overall, HighPer 2018 is addressed to students,
researchers and practitioners who want to keep themselves updated
about recent developments and future trends. All will surely find
it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry
leaders and innovators.
STRUCTURE:
3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event.
Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they wish
to attend as well as to move from one to another.
VENUE:
HighPer 2018 will take place in San Sebastián, a famous touristic
coastal city in the Basque Country which was European Capital of
Culture 2016. The venue will be:
Centro Ignacio María Barriola

A session will be devoted to 10-minute demonstrations of practical
applications of high performance computing in industry. Companies
interested in contributing are welcome to submit a 1-page abstract
containing the program of the demonstration and the logistics
needed. At least one of the people participating in the
demonstration should have registered for the event. Expressions of
interest have to be submitted to david.silva409 (at) yahoo.com by
April 16, 2018.
EMPLOYER SESSION:
Firms searching for personnel well skilled in high performance
computing will have a space reserved for one-to-one contacts. At

REGISTRATION:
It has to be done at
http://grammars.grlmc.com/HighPer2018/registration.php
The selection of up to 8 courses requested in the registration
template is only tentative and non-binding. For logistic reasons,
it will be helpful to have an estimation of the respective demand
for each course. During the event, participants will be free to
attend the courses they wish.
Since the capacity of the venue is limited, registration requests
will be processed on a first come first served basis. The
registration period will be closed and the on-line registration
facility disabled when the capacity of the venue is exhausted. It
is highly recommended to register prior to the event.
FEES:
Fees comprise access to all courses and lunches. There are several
early registration deadlines. Fees depend on the registration
deadline.
ACCOMMODATION:
Suggestions for accommodation are available on the webpage.
CERTIFICATE:
Participants will be delivered a certificate of attendance
indicating the number of hours of lectures.
