About the School:

The Quantum Cryptography School for Young Students is a unique, week-long enrichment program for students hosted by the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo. This year the program will run through August 12 — 16, 2013. The school offers an interesting blend of lectures, hands-on experiments and group work focused on quantum cryptography — a cutting-edge field that utilizes the fascinating laws of quantum mechanics to develop unbreakable encryption that protects communication.

Students get a first-hand look into the physics and mathematics of quantum mechanics, cryptography and how they merge into one of the most exciting topics in contemporary science — quantum cryptography. Participants meet and collaborate with some of the most renowned researchers the field has to offer. Daily social activities encourage relationship building between participants.

QCSYS covers all costs associated with the program except travel to and from Waterloo. Travel bursaries are
available. All students, including those from the Waterloo region, stay in a university residence with QCSYS chaperones. The program has space for 40 participants.

CUDA Center of Excellence МГУ проводит школу-тренинг по  изучению технологий программирования графических процессоров 20-22 февраля. Слушателям будут рассказаны основы программирования с использованием технологии CUDA, особенности использования некоторых библиотеки, а так же будут рассмотрены вопросы профилирования, отладки, оптимизации кода на CUDA, применения технологии OpenACC. Практическая часть занятий школы пройдёт на суперкомпьютере "Ломоносов".

Специальное заседание семинара "Суперкомпьютерные технологии в науке, образовании
и промышленности" состоится в среду 28 ноября 2012 г.

"The XPRESS Track to Exascale System Development"

The continuing growth of computing performance enabled through advances in semiconductor (Moore's Law) and communication technology is obstructed by encroaching limitations of power consumption and reliability. Further progress may demand possibly dramatic changes in system structure, both hardware and software, and programming models and methods. While the field of HPC has undergone such paradigm shifts before, the most recent was two decades ago. Now early symptoms of change are manifest in such structures as multicore processors and GPU accelerators as exemplified by Titan, the premier system on the Top-500 list. This presentation will discuss the technical strategy of the DOE XPRESS Project recently initiated under the US DOE X-Stack Program to develop concepts and elements of future programming models and the system software stack. XPRESS is developing two new software components, the HPX runtime system and the LXK operating system to provide a dynamic execution environment capable of unprecedented scalability. These are based on the experimental ParalleX execution model. Also described is a low-level interface, XPI, also being formulated to serve as a source-to-source compiler target from high-level languages to the runtime system software as well as a low-level application programming interface for early experimental code development. The goal of these complementing system software components is to greatly enhance computing node efficiency and scalability while improving both power and reliability of exascale system operation.

Семинар пройдет в большом конференц-зале НИВЦ МГУ (http://srcc.msu.ru/nivc/about/arrive.html) на 3-м этаже. Вход на семинар свободный, регистрироваться и присылать ФИО для пропусков не нужно. На вахте нужно будет сказать, что идете на семинар в большой конференц-зал.

Начало семинара в 16:30. Еще раз обращаем внимание на нестандартный день (среда) и место (НИВЦ МГУ) проведения семинара!
