Each site has a slightly different list of courses. Every year the curricula change to reflect the current HPC trends and ever changing needs of the Advanced Research Computing community. The summer schools include both in-class lectures and hands-on computer labs.

Prerequisites vary depending on the sessions you choose, but all require a basic familiarity with the Linux shell, and most require a certain level of programming experience.

Overview

Ontario Summer School on Advanced Research Computing (ARC) is an annual educational event for graduate/undergraduate students, postdocs and researchers who are engaged in a compute intensive research. The online summer schools provide attendees with the opportunity to learn and share knowledge and experience in high performance and technical computing on modern HPC platforms. Our summer schools offer intensive courses on a number of selected subjects, including

  • Programming distributed systems using message passing (MPI);
  • Programming shared memory systems with threads (e.g. OpenMP);
  • Programming GPGPUs (CUDA);
  • Common programming languages: Modern Fortran, C/C++, R, Python, MATLAB/Octave etc.;
  • Debugging;
  • Visualization;
  • Cloud computing;
  • Big data and deep learning;
  • Domain specific tools.

Every year the curricula change to reflect the current HPC trends and ever changing needs of the Advanced Research Computing community. The summer schools include both in-class lectures and hands-on computer labs. Prerequisites vary depending on the sessions you choose, but all require a basic familiarity with the Linux shell, and most require a certain level of programming experience.

There have been annual training and education events offered by the three HPC consortia of Compute Ontario: SHARCNET, SciNet and Centre for Advanced Computing, for more than a decade. Formerly the Fall Workshop, the HPC Summer School was offered by SHARCNET since 2007, and was expanded to three provincial offerings (West, Central, and East) in 2011. Since 2022 the school became a single annual online training event called "Compute Ontario summer school" jointly organized and delivered by SHARCNET, SciNet and Centre for Advanced Computing.

Summer School 2025

Registration is now open for this year’s 2025 Compute Ontario Summer School.

Jointly organized by SHARCNET, Centre for Advanced Computing, SciNet, Acenet, and in in partnership with Bioinformatics.ca, Digital Research Alliance of Canada, HPC4Health, Ontario Brain Institute, OICR, Scholars Portal, this year’s virtual event will be held on June 2-20.

The Compute Ontario Summer School offers a comprehensive curriculum packed with more than 40 free courses. Delivered by experts in the field, these sessions cover a wide range of topics including Advanced Research Computing (ARC), High Performance Computing (HPC), and Research Data Management (RDM).
