About SiPE
So far, the SiPE workshops have reached over 2000 people at 362 institutions, agencies, companies and organizations in 51 US states and territories and 17 other countries:
- 251 academic institutions;
- 44 government agencies;
- 49 private companies;
- 18 non-governmental/not-for-profit organizations.
SiPE is targeted at an audience of not only computer scientists but especially scientists and engineers, including a mixture of undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, staff and professionals.
These workshops focus on fundamental issues of High Performance Computing (HPC) as they relate to Computational and Data-enabled Science & Engineering (CDS&E), including:
- overview of HPC;
- the storage hierarchy;
- instruction-level parallelism;
- high performance compilers;
- shared memory parallelism (e.g., OpenMP);
- distributed parallelism (e.g., MPI);
- HPC application types and parallel paradigms;
- multicore optimization;
- high throughput computing;
- accelerator computing (e.g., GPUs);
- scientific and I/O libraries;
- scientific visualization.
The key philosophy of the SiPE workshops is that HPC-based software should be maintainable, extensible and, most especially, portable across platforms, and should be sufficiently flexible that it can adapt to, and adopt, emerging HPC paradigms.
