During the week, experts from around the world will be delivering lectures and hands-on exercises on cutting-edge acceleration technologies using FPGAs, GPUs and more. Through these exercises, students get to experience first hand the potential of using application accelerators in their research. Students also get a chance to showcase their latest research, and discuss their need for high-performance computers through poster sessions.
The course’s target audiences are PhD or master students in their first 2 years of study, as well as very advanced undergraduate students in their final year. Enrollment will be on a competitive basis.
