Course description:
The EU Horizon-2020 funded ESCAPE project (http://www.hpc-escape.eu/) is organizing the Young Scientist Summer School (YSSS; 7-12 August 2017, Copenhagen, Denmark) which will introduce young researchers to numerical weather prediction, ocean, climate relevant topics as well as modern computational physics & energy efficient computing. During the school, the participants will get familiar with ESCAPE dwarfs – fundamental algorithmic building blocks – and recognize why HPC and energy‐efficient computations are important. The programme will include theoretical lecture material as well as practical exercises (to be realized by students as small‐scale research projects started from the 1st day of the school with defence of project results) on selected dwarfs.
Programme:
Block 1. Fundamentals of atmospheric processes and modelling
Block 2. Numerics, assimilation, evaluation and verification
Block 3. ESCAPE dwarfs
Block 4. Hardware, benchmarking, diagnostic tools for code development and improvement
Practical Exercises as Small‐Scale Research Projects (SSRP) on selected ESCAPE dwarfs to be realized by groups of students led by teachers (designers of the dwarf)
The deadline for submission of applications to attend the summer school has been extended to the 1st of May 2017.
