Workshop: The Gray Scott School 2026 @ Slovenia

Overview: The Gray Scott School is an advanced training program dedicated to High-Performance Computing (HPC), led by experts from IJCLab, CNRS, Inria, LUPM, LPNHE & LISN. This summer school, in a unique format and entirely free of charge, is dedicated to programming and optimization on Heterogeneous Architectures.
The school covers the optimisation of computations on different types of hardware (CPU, GPU), presenting their respective characteristics, architectures and bottlenecks. It covers generic optimisation methods applicable to all types of hardware, as well as the various libraries, technologies and languages available to achieve the best possible performance. Ideally, the peak performance of the machine. Through hands-on sessions, lectures, and regular technical webinars, the school equips participants with the skills needed to design, optimize, and scale high-performance applications.
How to attend the Gray Scott School 2025:
NCC Slovenia is offering a distance learning in Ljubljana, where one of the various satellites in Europe will take place.
The satellite will take place in hybrid format - the speakers will be present in France, and will stream via Zoom. Our lecturers will be in the room to help participants with access and implementation. Interactive development will be supported by the VEGA supercomputer.
Target audience: The workshop is intended for anyone wanting to learn code parallelization on CPUs and GPUs.
Difficulty: Beginner
Prerequisite knowledge: Basic knowledge of Linux, the Terminal and Python
Skills to be gained: Parallelization, vectorization, CPU and GPU programming
Max number of participants: 8
