The 3rd Russian-German School
on Parallel Programming
using High Performance Computation Systems

sponsored by
Russian Foundation for Basic Research, grant No. 06-01-10106-r

and
Allinea Software (UK)

August 28 - September 8, 2006

Institute of Computational Technologies SB RAS
Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia

The aim of the School is to invite interested young researchers to discuss modern parallel computing techniques, gain experience in using up-to-date hardware and exchange experience in solving practical problems o­n high performance computation systems of different architectures.

The program of the school consists of two courses. The first course is an introductory course into the technologies of parallel computing and their using in numerical modelling. The advanced course is designed for a detailed study of the methods and techniques of high performance computing covering advanced topics in parallel programming.

The courses will be run by the leading scientists from the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart. The leading scientists from the institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences will give the invited lectures.

The Student Session is planned, where participants will have a possibility to give presentations o­n their works in the field of parallel programming. Abstracts of the accepted presentations will be published in the Student Session Proceedings.

The working language of the School is English. Experience of programming in Fortran or C is a prerequisite.
