The event includes a two-and-a-half-day hands-on workshop along with participation in the XXV Latin American Symposium on Solid State Physics (SLAFES). More details about the symposium are available here: https://slafesxxv.sue-caribe.org/. Applications through this webpage are required only for those participants interested in attending the entire program. For those interested in attending the symposium only, applications must be made here: https://slafesxxv.sue-caribe.org/. Attending only the hands-on workshop is not an option.

 

The event aims to enhance the capabilities of scientists in Latin America by complementing the efforts of local networks like SCALAC, Red-Clara, and LaRedCCA2 in utilizing high-performance computing (HPC) in materials science. This event addresses inequalities and promotes the adoption of HPC methodologies by covering topics such as modern parallel architectures, practical skills for non-IT experts in using open-source scientific codes, running hybrid programs with accelerators, and hands-on experience in configuring and managing calculations for materials research and visualization. The workshop offers an intensive program that balances theoretical knowledge with practical application, ensuring that participants gain a solid understanding of how to apply HPC techniques to their research endeavours in materials science.

Speakers:
Camilo A. Espejo (Universidad Del Norte, Colombia)
Ivan Girotto (ICTP, Italy)
Rafael Gonzales (Universidad Del Norte, Colombia)
Bruno Gucco (University of Texas, USA)
Andrea Marini (ISM-CNR, Italy)
Javier A. Montoya (Universidad de Cartagena, Colombia)

 

Only a limited number of participants will be selected to attend the entire program at no registration fee. Additionally, a limited number of grants are available to support attendance for the entire program, with priority given to participants from Latin America.
