HPF seminarium

Lokal:  BDL 6 Hus B Vallaområdet Linköping

Tid:    14/5 9.15-16.30

Seminariet håller Vince Schuster från Portland Group, ett företag som
implementerat HPF på ett antal olika platformar däribland CRAY T3E.

Övningar kommer att genomföras på lokala arbetsstationer eller CRAY T3E
beroende på om vi hinner få en CRAY version installerad.

Anmälan till undertecknad eller Pontus Matstoms.

Nedan följer ett premliminärt program.

Välkomna!
