ISC Big Data conference
ISC events, the organizers of the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) and ISC Cloud proudly announce a new conference series – the ISC Big Data Conference. Over the course of two days, the forum will scrutinize all facets of big data in order to empower practitioners and vendors who want to learn more about this rapidly evolving set of technologies.
Workshop: Rapid Molecular Dynamics Prototyping and Simulations on GPUs with OpenMM
This workshop is designed for those interested in accelerating MD simulations on GPUs and/or developing new MD algorithms that can automatically be implemented and accelerated on GPUs. No programming background is required, though a programming track will be offered for those who are interested in integrating OpenMM into their code.
Largest known prime number (17M digits long) is discovered
The new prime number, 2 multiplied by itself 57,885,161 times, less one (2^57,885,161-1), has 17,425,170 digits. With 360,000 CPUs peaking at 150 trillion calculations per second, 17th-year GIMPS is the longest continuously-running global supercomputing project in Internet history.
GPU programming with Python
Why use GPUs from Python? This workshop will provide a brief introduction to GPU programming with Python, including run-time code generation and use of high-level tools like PyCUDA and PyOpenCL, and Loo.py.
Introduction to pyOpenCL: python interface to the Open Computing Language
In this talk we will provide an introduction to pyOpenCL, python interface to the Open Computing Language. OpenCL is a framework to execute parallel programs across heterogeneous platforms consisting of of both CPUs and GPUs.
