Registration is now OPEN at: http://www.benasque.org/2022lattice/cgi-bin/appl.pl
DEADLINE for registration: July 15th
The school aims to develop a broad interest program, oriented to generate synergies across the community. We welcome Master's, PhD´s. Students and Early Career Postdocs from the extended HEP community. Topics will cover aspects of general applicability in scientific computing for High Energy Physics using as guidelines the current status of Lattice QCD, LHC data analysis and Phenomenology codes requirements.
The list of topics to be addressed contains:
- State of the play in HEP large scale simulations: challenges ahead towards exploiting Exascale-size computing to solve fundamental problems.
- Numerical approaches: algorithms, from design to implementation.
- Artificial intelligence: Machine learning.
- Scientific programming in heterogeneous architectures, from CPU, to GPUs and FPGAs.
- Quantum Computing
- Evolution of computing infrastructures for HEP: requirements versus current hardware evolution.
- Handling Scientific Software Lifecycle: state-of-the-art tools and best practices in scientific code development from a practitioner's point of view.
- The data challenge: from generation to preservation.
The most up-to-date program can be found at: https://indico.ifca.es/event/2452/
The school has capacity for about 40 students.
A number of grants will be available to support the registration fee and Hotel accommodation of those, motivated students, with less resources. If you wish to be considered for one those grants please indicate so in the registration form as "Other comments". Additionally please send a description to isabel.campos@csic.es describing your motivation to attend the school, and a brief (reasoned) description of the level of economic support you are aiming at. (fee waving, hotel, travel support).
