>From November 3-14 2008  ICTP in collaboration with Sissa/eLab and CNR/INFM 
Democritos Center will  be holding a two-weeks "Advanced School in HPC and Grid 
computing".

This course is the last of a successful series started a few years ago with the 
aim teach anybody interested basic high  performance  computing skills to 
efficiently conduct research in  computational science.

The first week offers comprehensive lectures and lab exercises designed
to elucidate the  concepts from the lecture. This material is best
suited for beginner/intermediate  level students.

The second week of this event is dedicated to more advanced topics such
as efficient method of handling large amounts of I/O, queue systems,
grids and computational infrastructure in the developing world.
However, the lab section will focus on applying the concepts of week 1
to improve your own scientific software.

PARTICIPATION:
--------------
Scientists and students from all countries which are members of the United 
Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may attend the Workshop.

As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne 
by the home institution.  Every effort should be made by candidates to secure 
support for their fare (or at least half-fare). However, limited funds are 
available for some participants, who are nationals of, and working in, a 
developing country and who are not more than 45 years of age.  Such support is 
available only for those who attend the entire activity.  There is no 
registration fee.

The Application Form is obtainable from the ICTP WWW server:

DEADLINE IS 1 June 2008.
