Introduction
Barcelona Computing Week 2014, July 11-15, at BSC/UPC, Barcelona.
The BSC/UPC has been awared by Nvidia as GPU Center of Excellence. The Programming and tUning Massively Parallel Systems Summer School (PUMPS) offers researchers and graduate students a unique opportunity to enrich their skills with cutting-edge technique and hands-on experience in developing applications for many-core processors with massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators.
Participants will have access to a multi-node cluster of GPUs, and will learn to program and optimize applications in languages such as CUDA and OmpSs. Teaching assistants will be available to help with assignments.
