Registration is open for Madagascar’s Second Working Workshop.
As a reminder, Working Workshops as opposed to “talking workshops” are meetings where the participants work together (possibly divided into pairs or small teams) to develop new software code or to conduct computational experiments addressing a particular problem. The First Working Workshop took place last summer in Austin. This year’s workshop will take place on at Rice University in Houston, Texas, on July 31 – August 2, 2014. The topic of this year’s workshop is parallel and high-performance computing. The objective is
- To develop convenient tools for high-performance and parallel computing.
- To create new examples of distributed-memory and shared-memory parallel computing.
- To explore hardware-accelerated parallel computing (NVIDIA GPU and Intel® Xeon Phi).
Registration is free by an application is required. If you are interested in participating in this workshop, please fill an application form.
Hi,
Looking forward to a summary of the workshop proceedings and results.
Results of post-workshop survey:
100% of those who responded to the survey indicated that they would be interested in attending Madagascar events in the future and would recommend it to their colleagues.
Some of the things participants liked: working in groups, great learning experience, network, learn, contribute.
Some of the things participants did not like: lack of pre-workshop activities, time of the workshop, no XeonPhi leaders. 50% of respondents found nothing to complain about.
The most popular topic for a future workshop (82%): Seismic Data Processing.
The most popular location for a future workshop: Oklahoma.
