Programme for the 7th Annual Workshop on Linux Cluster for Super Computing



October 17

Tutorials

Two tutorials are offered this year:

T2 - The Gaussian 03 tutorial offers a unique opportunity for the quantum chemical community in Sweden to get an in-depth presentation of the single-most used quantum chemistry code of today.

T3 - The Efficient parallel applications on NUMA machines tutorial provides a presentation of the Altix supercomputer with special focus on Sweden largest shared memory resource Mozart at NSC.

The Using NSC systems tutorial (T1) is cancelled.
