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.
