[CSBi-HPC] Star-P tutorial by Dr. Edelman

[Al Davis]

FYI,  Star-P tutorial course announcement from Dr. Edelman.

Parallel MATLAB(r) with Star-P
IAP TUTORIAL / Limited Enrollment

DATE:           Wednesday Feb 1, 2006
TIME:           10am-2pm
LOCATION:       Room 1-115

Professor Alan Edelman
        Dept of Mathematics
        CSAIL & ISC

Dr. Vern Shrauger
        Interactive Supercomputing


    This one session tutorial will show how to obtain productivity with
parallel computing using MATLAB.  Our ideal students might be just
starting to use a parallel computer, have little knowledge of parallel
programming and prefer to work with the MATLAB desktop application.

     Participation is limited and is by advanced request to Alan Edelman
(edelman at math.mit.edu <mailto:edelman at math.mit.edu>).  Preference will
be given to MIT students and
researchers who already have an application in MATLAB that they are
starting to or thinking about parallelizing.  Please email Professor
Edelman and describe your hopes. Ideal project characteristics:

     * Large and/or complex model that would lend itself to parallel
      programming

     * Prefer a familiar desktop tool like MATLAB, over using C++ and MPI for
       parallel programming

     * Shorten parallel code development time

    The tutorial will be hands-on.  Every student will have access to
Interactive Supercomputing's newly released product: Star-P.  Interactive
Supercomputing is an MIT spinoff building a parallel platform to connect
the desktop to the high performance computers.
