So far, the SiPE workshops have reached over 2000 people at
362 institutions, agencies, companies and organizations in
51 US states and territories and 17 other countries:

* 251 academic institutions;
* 44 government agencies;
* 49 private companies;
* 18 non-governmental/not-for-profit organizations.

SiPE is targeted at an audience of not only computer scientists
but especially scientists and engineers, including a mixture of
undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, staff and
professionals.

These workshops focus on fundamental issues of High Performance
Computing (HPC) as they relate to Computational and Data-enabled
Science & Engineering (CDS&E), including:

* overview of HPC;
* the storage hierarchy;
* instruction-level parallelism;
* high performance compilers;
* shared memory parallelism (e.g., OpenMP);
* distributed parallelism (e.g., MPI);
* HPC application types and parallel paradigms;
* multicore optimization;
* high throughput computing;
* accelerator computing (e.g., GPUs);
* scientific and I/O libraries;
* scientific visualization.

The key philosophy of the SiPE workshops is that HPC-based software
should be maintainable, extensible and, most especially, portable
across platforms, and should be sufficiently flexible that it can
adapt to, and adopt, emerging HPC paradigms.

Prerequisite:

1 semester of programming experience and/or coursework in any of
Fortan, C, C++ or Java, recently
