On September 2-4, 9, 10, 2024, the RIKEN International HPC Summer School 2024 was held online. The summer school was first held in FY 2018 as a program to interest students and young researchers in entering the field of computing and related technology, and this year’s summer school was the sixth time the program was held. (There was no summer school in FY 2019 due to IHPCSS being held in Kobe.) This year’s summer school had a total of 89 participants, including students (graduate students), researchers, and individuals in the private sector.

Participants learned about parallel programming and execution methods and the skills they need to master them through lectures by Deputy Director Kengo Nakajima (RIKEN) and Team Leader Toshiyuki Imamura (RIKEN). Participants also had the opportunity to experience hands-on training sessions with Wisteria/BDEC-01 Odyssey (Wisteria-O/The University of Tokyo).

Comments from the participants included,“It's very useful and I will use it in my research.” “The Lectures were very good, however sometimes advanced for someone who is just starting to learn about HPC.” ” Should conduct this physically, the contents are interesting but too hard to follow for online sessions.”

We hope to welcome many more participants in the coming years!

  • Asking questions regarding hands-on training sessions and similar communications took place over Slack.
