We are pleased to announce the 4th CINI HPC Summer School 2026, which will take place from 15–19 June 2026 at the University of Salento, Lecce, Italy. Organized by the CINI HPC National Laboratory jointly with the HPC Laboratory at the University of Salento, the Summer School will address the design of scalable parallel algorithms and the use of standard "de facto" programming models and tools crucial for enhancing HPC application performance, including practical hands-on sessions focusing on MPI, OpenMP, GPU programming, and performance monitoring. The curriculum aims to boost participants' capabilities in utilizing HPC for complex scientific and industrial tasks, bringing together theoretical and technical viewpoints. Over the course of five days, participants will gain insights into the design and analysis of parallel algorithms and related, current technologies.
We are seeking highly motivated students, for a learning experience focused on leading-edge subjects. You will be taught by University of Salento faculty members jointly with CINECA leading experts, and attend classes with top students that share your interests. The Summer School represents a unique opportunity to participate in an exciting laboratory of teaching and active learning.
