This change fixes some long-standing bugs and offers a higher-performing interface. However, some devices have not been updated to the new interface, and are not available.

Organised by Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce participants to parallel processing on the CRAY T3D/T3E and explore more advanced topics, including performance monitoring and optimization techniques. The first two days of this workshop have been designed to introduce participants to PSC's supercomputing environment, compiling, debugging, job submission, and parallel programming concepts. The third and fourth days are designed to cover more advanced topics, including advanced parallel programming techniques, how to monitor code performance and optimization strategies. There will also be presentations on scientific applications which have been parallelized. The workshops incorporate lectures and extensive hands-on lab sessions. In addition to the exercises, lab time will also be available for participants to optimize their own code with the help and supervision of our instructors. Participants are encouraged to bring their code, but not required. A working knowledge of FORTRAN or C and UNIX are required but NOT Parallel computing experience.
