What you'll study

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.

This course is limited to 30 students and will be conducted in English. Applications must be received by 15 May 2014 and participants will be notified by 31 May.
