Keynote speaker
| Timothy Lanfear manages the European solution architecture and engineering team in NVIDIA’s Enterprise Solutions Group. He has twenty-five years’ experience in HPC, starting as a computational scientist in British Aerospace’s corporate research centre, and then moving to technical pre-sales roles with Hitachi, ClearSpeed, and most recently NVIDIA. He has a degree in Electrical Engineering and a PhD for research in the field of graph theory, both from Imperial College London. He is a Chartered Engineer and Member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology. | |
| Abstract | An Accelerated Computing System is Different The title of the presentation is a quotation from Steve Oberlin, the CTO of NVIDIA’s accelerated computing business unit. An accelerated computing system should not be viewed as another type of computer to target for porting legacy applications, but rather a new computational platform enabling new approaches to simulation and modeling. This change was proven by the 2018 Gordon Bell Prize awards in which new algorithms and coupling AI methods with traditional simulation have advanced computational science. NVIDIA is innovating across all layers of the solution stack: the hardware and processor architecture; the programming model, libraries, tools, compilers, and new approaches to simulation. |
Training Sessions
Prior to the workshop and hack-a-thon, two training sessions are scheduled in March 10-11 on untitled "Deep Learning Demystified" and "OpenACC Programming" by Nvidia and Appentra respectively.
Back to topTraining #1: Deep Learning Demystified
Schedule:
March 10, 2019
Time: 9:30AM to 4:30PM
Lecture Hall 2 room 2325 , bldg.9
Trainer Bio-data:
| Piero Altoè is responsible of the HPC segment in Middle East at NVIDIA and he brings more than 8 years of experience in computational chemistry. he is author of 30 papers published on international scientific journals. He joined the NVIDIA in 2016. Piero Altoè achieved his Ph.D. in 2007 at Università di Bologna focusing his attention on the development and applications of hybrid quantum and molecular mechanics methods.

Agenda:
| 9:30 AM | Welcome | |
| 9:30 - 12:00 PM | LECTURE: Deep Learning Demystified | |
Abstract: The last five years has seen an unprecedented progress in Artificial Intelligence research. Neural Networks, which were perceived as a failed experiment of Machine Learning research, not only are successfully solving a wide range of everyday problems but in many cases significantly exceed human performance. The goal of this talk is to help to understand which problems can be solved with Deep Neural Networks today. | ||
| 12:00 - 1.30pm | LUNCH | |
| 1:30 - 5:00 PM | Hands-on Course: Fundamental of deep learning for computer vision (Limited Seating) | |
Abstract: In this hands-on course, you will learn the basics of deep learning by training and deploying neural networks. You will: Implement common deep learning workflows such as Image Classification and Object Detection. Experiment with data, training parameters, network structure, and other strategies to increase performance and capability. Deploy your networks to start solving real-world problems. On completion of this course, you will be able to start solving your own problems with deep learning. | ||

Hands-on Training #2: OpenACC Programming
Schedule:
March 11, 2019
Time: 9:00AM to 5:30PM
Library, Computer Lab.
Trainer Bio-data:
| Manuel Arenaz is CEO at Appentra Solutions and professor of computer science at the University of A Coruña (Spain). Holds a PhD on advanced compiler techniques for automatic parallelization of scientific codes. After 10+ years teaching parallel programming at undergraduate and PhD levels, he strongly believes that the next generation of STEM engineers needs to be educated in HPC technologies to address the digital revolution challenge. Recently, he co-founded Appentra Solutions to commercialize products and services that take advantage of Parallware, a new technology for semantic analysis of scientific HPC codes. Parallware Trainer by Appentra is a step forward to enable experiential self-learning of parallel programming, one of the biggest technical challenges today. For this purpose, he led the foundation of the startup, conducted the technology transfer agreement and attended training courses for entrepreneur scientists. Now launching Parallelware Trainer to the HPC market. |
