Ciclo di conferenze scientifiche al CSCS: Professor Guenther Dissertori (video online)

May 13th, 2013

Il 22 Marzo la penultima conferenza scientifica di un ciclo organizzato dal CSCS allo scopo di far conoscere al grande pubblico l’importanza dei supercomputer ed il loro uso nelle diverse discipline scientifiche è stata dedicata alla Fisica delle Particelle.  Il Professor Günther Dissertori dell’ETH Zurigo in una brillante presentazione ha mostrato “Perché senza Grid-Computing non si sarebbe trovato il bosone di Higgs al CERN”. Il Professor Dissertori, altoatesino, ha studiato Fisica all’Università di Innsbruck in Austria, ha poi continuato i suoi studi conseguendo il Dottorato di Ricerca in Fisica in collaborazione con il CERN. Dopo aver lavorato come membro dello staff scientifico al CERN, nel 2001 è giunto all’ETH Zurigo dove ha iniziato la sua carriera accademica come professore assistente e dal 2007 è professore ordinario di fisica delle particelle.

On March 22nd, the last but one scientific talk in a series of seminars organized by CSCS for a general public to talk about the importance of supercomputers and their use in the various scientific disciplines, was dedicated to Particle Physics. Professor Günther Dissertori from ETH Zurich in a brillant presentation showed why wihout grid-computing it would have not been possible to discover the Higgs boson.  Professor Dissertori comes from Trentino Alto Adige, studied physics at University of Innsbruck in Austria. After that he did a PhD in Physics in a collaboration between Innsbruck and CERN he worked as staff scientist at CERN. In 2001 he started his academic career as assistant professor at ETH Zurich. Since 2007 he is full professor of Particle Physics.

CSCS-USI Summer School on Computer Simulations in Science and Engineering, 8-19 July 2013, Lugano, Switzerland

Call for participation:

CSCS-USI Summer School on Computer Simulations in Science and Engineering, 8-19 July 2013, Lugano, Switzerland

Sponsored by Swiss Graduate Program FoMICS “Foundations in Mathematics and Informatics for Computer Simulations in Science and Engineering”.

CSCS-USI will be hosting a two-week summer school on parallel programming aimed at graduate/PhD students who are new to the world of high performance computing and who wish to learn the basic skills required to write, develop and maintain parallel applications in scientific computing. The school will cover topics such as the principles of parallel programming, distributed memory programming with MPI, shared memory programming using OpenMP, hybrid programming with MPI/OpenMP, as well as some advanced topics.

Applications and visualizations are motivated through a simple Finite Volume solver for the 2D shallow water equations (with application to tsunami simulations).
