LNCC, one of the RISC2 Brazilian partners, organized the HPC Summer School “Escola Supercomputador Santos Dumont,” which took place between January 16 to 24, 2023, as part of the LNCC’s Summer Program.
The School aimed to provide mini-courses and talks related to programming on high-performance computers, such as parallel programming models, profiling tools, and libraries for developing optimized parallel algorithms for the SDumont user community and the high-performance computing programming community.
Due to the extensive territory of Brazil and the number of research projects, it is mandatory to provide regular HPC schools for the research community. According to Carla Osthoff, one of the organizers of this school, “SDumont is the only Brazilian supercomputer dedicated to the research community that is part of the TOP 500 list. The Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology offers free access to all Brazilian research projects in the country and foreign collaborators. Currently, we have 238 research projects from 18 research areas. This edition of the School received 350 registrations, but we also provided online YouTube access to the community.”
The event happened remotely, and all the sessions are available on Youtube.
