CMM prepares workshop on High Performance Computing

On Monday 29 August, the National Laboratory for High Performance Computing (NLHPC) of CMM will hold this workshop, which has as speakers to Bill Magro, Director of High Performance Computing Intel Software Solutions, and Ricardo Medel, who works in the area of HPC at the Center for Intel Software Development Argentina.

This activity will take place in the seminar room of the Department of Mathematical Engineering, located at Avenida Blanco Encalada 2120 and is aimed at graduate students, engineers and academics working in the area of application development using the methods and techniques of HPC .

Besides being an opportunity to learn the most prominent projects in the area that Intel has developed, this workshop aims to establish what is the relation between the HPC Software Solutions area and customers in the scientific world, industry and government.

The first of two talks will be held at 15:00 hours and in it Bill Magro will present the Intel HPC's projects. The second talk is in charge of Ricardo Medel, who will give an overview of its development projects. The latter will take place at 16:30 hours.

Bill Magro
Director of High-Performance Computing Software Solutions at Intel. Bill has worked in the field of HPC for over 20 years. He joined Intel as part of the acquisition of KAI Software, where he was product manager of parallel tools. Prior to KAI, Bill was on staff at the Cornell Theory Center, an NSF-funded supercomputing center. Bill holds a Ph.D. in computational physics from the University of Illinois and a B.Eng. in Applied and Engineering Physics from Cornell University.

Ricardo Medel

Master of the Universidad Nacional de San Luis, Argentina and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stevens Institute of Technology. He has been professor for 10 years at the National University of Río Cuarto and researcher on rigorous methods for software development. He currently works in the area of High Performance Computing in Argentina Software Development Center (ASDC) of Intel and as researcher in the UTN Faculty Reg in Córdoba.

Beauchef's HPC Laboratory

The National Laboratory for High Performance Computing, led Eduardo Vera, Manager of Innovation and Developmenta at CMM, is one of the two projects at the University of Chile that won the first National Contest of Centers for Scientific and Technological Equipment for Sharing Use, conducted by the Programa de Investigación Asociativa (PIA) of CONICYT. The center aims to develop scientific and technological progress, try to establish as a worldwide reference for research and development of High Performance Computing.
