The Croucher Summer Course on Performance-Aware Programming using
Application Accelerators (PAPAA) is a 5-day live-in summer program
hosted at the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. The goal of the course
is to bring together the best researchers and the brightest young
postgraduate research students in a weeklong intensive course where
participants may exchange ideas and experiences in utilizing
state-of-the-art acceleration technologies across different application
domains.
What you'll study
During the week, experts from around the world will be delivering lectures and hands-on exercises on cutting-edge acceleration technologies using FPGAs, GPUs and more. Through these exercises, students get to experience first hand the potential of using application accelerators in their research. Students also get a chance to showcase their latest research, and discuss their need for high-performance computers through poster sessions.
The course’s target audiences are PhD or master students in their first 2 years of study, as well as very advanced undergraduate students in their final year. Enrollment will be on a competitive basis.
This course is limited to 30 students and will be conducted in English.
