Program

The workshop will run from February 13th to February 16th 2024.

Prerequisites

Attendees are expected to have basic programming experience and familiarity with UNIX/Linux environments. Previous experience with the Julia language and/or HPC programming and environments is beneficial, but not required.

Target audience

Students and researchers who are interested in numerical computing who want to learn how to write high-performance code using the Julia programming language.

Agenda

The following topics will be covered:

Julia fundamentals
- Multiple dispatch
- Code specialization
- Workflow (on HPC clusters)
Performance programming
- Type (in-)stability & memory optimizations
- Instruction-level parallelism (SIMD)
- Profiling
Parallelisation
- Task-based multithreading
- Distributed computing (Distributed.jl and MPI.jl)
- Basic GPU programming

Schedule

Times are in the local London (UK) timezone (GMT, UTC+0).
