SCOPE:

 

HighPer 2018 will be a research training event with a global scope aiming at 
updating participants about the most recent advances in the critical and fast 
developing area of high performance computing, which covers a large spectrum of 
current exciting research and industrial innovation with an extraordinary 
potential for a huge impact on scientific discoveries, medicine, engineering, 
business models, and society itself. Renowned academics and industry pioneers 
will lecture and share their views with the audience.

 

Most subareas of high performance computing will be displayed, from 
foundations, infrastructure and management to applications. Major challenges in 
the field will be identified through 2 keynote lectures, 24 five-hour and 
fifteen-minute courses, and 1 round table, which will tackle the most active 
and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers 
will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a 
main component of the event.

 

An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own 
work in progress in 5 minutes. Moreover, there will be two special sessions 
with industrial and recruitment profiles.

 
ADDRESSED TO:

 

Master students, PhD students, postdocs, and industry practitioners will be 
typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites 
for attendance in terms of academic degrees. Since there will be a variety of 
levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses. 
Overall, HighPer 2018 is addressed to students, researchers and practitioners 
who want to keep themselves updated about recent developments and future 
trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major 
researchers, industry leaders and innovators.

 
STRUCTURE:

 

3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be 
able to freely choose the courses they wish to attend as well as to move from 
one to another.

 
VENUE:

 

HighPer 2018 will take place in San Sebastián, a famous touristic coastal city 
in the Basque Country which was European Capital of Culture 2016. The venue
