*NHERI SimCenter Programming Bootcamp — Registration Open!*



*July 30 through August 3, 2018*

At the UC Berkeley’s Richmond Field Station

The NHERI Computational Modeling and Simulation Center (SimCenter) is
hosting a “SimCenter Programming Bootcamp.” The bootcamp's goal is to train
NHERI researchers in programming paradigms not covered in traditional civil
engineering courseware, but which are needed to advance their capabilities
with regards to simulation for natural hazards engineering.



The target audience is graduate students, postdocs, and new faculty who are
interested in simulating the effects of natural hazards on components,
structures, and communities. By the end of the workshop, participants will
have a firm grasp of how to build applications that utilize SimCenter
products and run on the high-performance computing platform hosted at
DesignSafe-CI.



During the five-day bootcamp, participants will be instructed by and
interact extensively with the SimCenter’s lead development team.



A sampling of course modules to be offered include:

·      Programming in C, C++, and FORTRAN

·      Developing Applications in C & C++

·      Parallel Programming on HPC with MPI

·      Web Application Development: UI Design & Qt

·      Hands on application development

·      Parallel exercises on TACC Stampede (HPC)



Each day’s agenda (8:30am – 5pm) will include instruction, the development
of custom capabilities, hands-on coding exercises or roundtables, example
applications, accessing HPC resources at NHERI, and discussions on working
within NHERI using SimCenter products. Daily homework will be assigned.
Refreshments at breaks and lunch will be provided.



An early registration fee ($150) is available until *June 22, 2018*. After
that date, the registration fee increases to $250. Registration closes *July
9, 2018*, or before if the maximum number of attendees register.

Financial support is available for a limited number of participants for
domestic travel, meal, and lodging expenses. To request financial support,
email NHERI-SimCenter at berkeley.edu by *May 25, 2018*. Graduate students,
postdocs, and faculty from under-represented groups are especially
encouraged to attend.
