PET Summer Institute

Join us for an enlightening session on Parallel Computing hosted at the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC). We will explore key concepts, including the architecture of symmetric multi-processors (SMP), methods to efficiently balance workloads, and the significance of shared versus distributed memory. Additionally, we will introduce IBM's SMP hardware and the SQUALL system—an accessible resource for various academic and commercial applications. This workshop is aimed at those eager to tackle complex problems using advanced computing techniques.
