The course covers all the basic knowledge required to write parallel programs using this programming model, and is directly applicable to almost every parallel computer architecture. There will be opportunities to discuss your particular applications with HPCx staff members. The course uses the de facto standard for message passing, the Message Passing Interface (MPI). Course description: http://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/computing/training/courses/course_summaries/MessagePassing_summary.html Registration form: http://www.hpcx.ac.uk/support/training/form.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL REPORTS As of today, there are a total of 27 Technical Reports available, covering aspects of the service, tools and techniques for using it, and application areas. These have been written by members of the HPCx staff and others. You can find links to them all here: http://www.hpcx.ac.uk/research/hpc/index.html Have a look - you may find that your problem has already been solved! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement from: Dr Lorna Smith and Prof Peter Coveney - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PhD POSITION AVAILABLE EPCC (part of Edinburgh University) and the Centre for Computational Science at University College London have available a PhD studentship looking at molecular dynamics simulations of complex systems. It is associated with the EPSRC-funded Reality Grid e-Science project, a project dedicated to high-performance scientific grid computing research. The project will have access to resources at HPCx and CSAR, and also to Edinburgh's revolutionary IBM BlueGene supercomputer, the first such system to be installed in Europe. We will also be using several supercomputers on the US TeraGrid and in Europe. EPSRC funding is available for fees and a maintenance grant for UK residents; funding for EU residents is on a fees-only basis. Please note that funding is not available for non-EU students. Applicants should have, or be about to obtain, at least a good honours degree in physics, chemistry, applied mathematics, computer science or computational biology. For more information, please see here: http://www.hpcx.ac.uk/about/news/ Dr Lorna Smith Professor Peter Coveney, email: l.smith@epcc.ed.ac.uk email: Peter.V.Coveney@ucl.ac.uk The studentship is available now, and must be started by October 2005. The deadline for applications is Monday 14 February 2005. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards --John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Earlier mailings: http://www.hpcx.ac.uk/support/notices/index.html To be removed from the mailing list: log into your website account, go to the "Update" page, and click the "Opt out of user emails" field; then click "Commit update". -- John Fisher j.fisher@epcc.ed.ac.uk HPCx User Administration and Helpdesk HPCx: http://www.hpcx.ac.uk Helpdesk: support@hpcx.ac.uk Phone: +44 131 650 5029 Fax: +44 131 650 6555
