{"id":507,"external_id":null,"title":"Fast and Efficient Python Computing School","subtitle":"","url":"https://indico.desy.de/event/40133/","organizer":"","description":"This is a School organized by the ErUM-Data-Hub with support from DIG-UM.\r\n\r\nIn this school you will learn how Python code can be accelerated. A focus will be placed on numeric NumPy-like array computations. In addition, running these array computations on hardware accelerators, i.e., GPUs, will play a key role in this school.\r\n\r\nThe school is intended for young researchers - especially for PhD students - who regularly work with the scientific Python ecosystem. Requirements are good knowledge of the scientific Python ecosystem, basics of the C++ programming language are beneficial.\r\n\r\nThe school (see timetable) is split into five parts of which three are keynote lectures with hands-on tutorials. The other two comprise an opening talk and a coding group challenge for the participants.\r\n\r\nA fee of 300€ will be charged for participation in the workshop.\r\n\r\n## Topics: \r\n\r\n* Setting the scene: benefits and disadvantages of the Python programming language and a brief outline how Python programs can be accelerated in general.\r\n* Efficient Python Programming: general approaches to accelerate Python code, using C++ in Python and accelerating array computations. \r\n* Accelerator Optimised Programming: how array computations can be run on GPUs with typical Deep Learning libraries, such as JAX or TensorFlow. \r\n* GPU Programming: understanding the hardware layout, i.e., thread and memory layout and hierarchy and basics of the CUDA toolkit. A focus is set on how to program custom GPU kernels for, e.g., Deep Learning applications (in JAX or TensorFlow).\r\n* Group Challenge","start":"2024-09-24T09:30:00.000Z","end":"2024-09-27T18:00:00.000Z","sponsors":[],"venue":"","city":"","county":"","country":"","postcode":"","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"created_at":"2023-08-30T10:30:11.781Z","updated_at":"2024-12-02T11:30:12.798Z","source":"tess","slug":"fast-and-efficient-python-computing-school","content_provider_id":66,"deliverable":"","user_id":21,"online":false,"cost":null,"for_profit":false,"last_scraped":"2024-12-02","scraper_record":true,"keywords":["Python","GPU","Accelerator Optimised Programming"],"event_types":["workshops_and_courses"],"target_audience":[],"capacity":null,"eligibility":[],"contact":"","host_institutions":[],"scientific_topics":[],"nodes":[],"external_resources":[]}
