The first thematic CERN School of Computing, entitled tCSC2013, will take place 3-7 June 2013, in Split, Croatia. The theme is Mastering State-of-the-Art Computing.
The application period is now open and will close the 31 of January 2013 . See practical information as well as how to apply.
tCSC2013 is a new concept and complements the existing portfolio of CSC events: the historical main summer school, organized since 1970, the inverted CSCs (iCSCs) organized since 2005, and the special schools, as organized in 2006 in Bombay.
The theme of the first edition is "Mastering state-of-the-art computing". It will cover:
- Data-oriented design: Designing for data, data-intensive applications, vectorization
- Memory programming: Memory effects in hardware, choosing data structures, non-uniform memory
- Parallelism: Threads, tasks, problems and overheads, parallelization technologies and environments
- Efficient computing: Architecture refresher (big and small cores), accurate and efficient floating point, compilers: their strengths and weaknesses, advanced performance monitoring and tuning
Though different from the main CSCs (they are shorter, smaller, focused), the tCSC maintain the same guiding principles:
1. Academic dimension on Advanced topic
2. Theory and practice
3. Networking and socialization
