On Friday, April 9 at 2:00pm PICS will host a presentation on Houdini presented by Kalina Borkiewicz. Cinematic scientific visualization makes three dimensional scientific phenomena approachable for mass audiences by using the artistic language of film including elements like camera choreography, lighting design, comprehensive scenic environments, and more. Cinematic scientific visualizations are an engaging way […]
The Penn Institute for Computational Science (PICS) is proud to host a C++ workshop on Saturday, October 23 from 10:00am – 3:30pm via Zoom. This one day workshop will teach students the basic skills needed to program in C++. We ask that anyone who attends has at least one year of prior programming experience in […]
On Saturday, November 13 PICS will host a workshop on CUDA: The NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit provides a development environment for creating high performance GPU-accelerated applications. With the CUDA Toolkit, you can develop, optimize, and deploy your applications on GPU-accelerated embedded systems, desktop workstations, enterprise data centers, cloud-based platforms and HPC supercomputers. The toolkit includes GPU-accelerated […]
On Saturday, November 20 from 10:00 – 3:30 PICS will host a workshop on OpenMP. This workshop will be capped at 30 people with priority given to students enrolled in the PICS Certificate of Advanced Scientific Computing. The OpenMP API supports multi-platform shared-memory parallel programming in C/C++ and Fortran. The OpenMP API defines a portable, […]
On Saturday, February 19 starting at 10:00 PICS will present an in-person workshop on Rust. In this workshop we will give an introduction to Rust code syntax and semantics. We will show how language features from more familiar languages like Python and C++ transfer over, while also introducing concepts not found in many mainstream languages; these include Rust‘s […]
On Saturday, March 26 10:00 – 3:00 PICS will host a workshop on Safe c++ taught by Adam Mally. In this workshop you will learn how to make your C++ code safe and bug-free by identifying errors during compilation, runtime, and testing phases. We will also cover how to handle common error types, like memory leaks […]
