(*) We like to draw your attention to a presentation by Horst Simon (University of California Berkeley) on Monday morning on Future Directions in High Performance Computing 2009-2018 in the SuperC

This event will continue the tradition of previous annual SunHPC events taking place in Aachen since 2001 which have been organized by the RWTH Aachen University and Sun Microsystems. We keep continuously changing the format a little bit over the years. Since we are moving from UltraSPARC based machinery to Intel Xeon bases hardware in our Center, we are also shifting the focus of the tutorials from Solaris towards Linux and Windows.
We will cover parallel programming using OpenMP and MPI in Fortran and C/C++ on Linux, Windows and Solaris platforms.

Starting on Monday afternoon, we will give basic introductions into the programming development environments on these platforms which are available for the lab exercises during the following days. Those who feal comfortable with their favourite platform are welcome to skip these basic introductions on Monday afternoon and arrive on Tuesday morning. For those who feel comfortable with one platform, this will also be a nice opportunity to get hands on the other ones. At our Center we try to serve Linux, Windows and Solaris equally well.

Please, download a sketch of the city (pdf, 415 KB) with some points of interest marked.

You may find a description of how to reach us by plane, train or car here.

Bus route 33 connects the city and the stop "Mies-van-der-Rohe-Straße" every 15 minutes.
Trains between Aachen and Düsseldorf stop at "Aachen West" station which is a 5 minutes walk away from the center.
From the bus stop and the train station just walk uphill the "Seffenter Weg". The first buildung on the lefthand side at the junction with "Kopernikusstraße" is the Computing Center.

The weather in Aachen is usually unpredictable. It is always a good idea to carry an umbrella. If you'll bring one, it might be sunny!
