MCS researchers play major role at extreme-scale computing training program

The Mathematics and Computer Science division at Argonne National Laboratory played a major role at the Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC). This annual program provides an intensive two weeks of training on the key skills, approaches and tools to design, implement and execute computational science and engineering applications on current and future leadership-class computing systems. This year’s event took place July 28–August 9, 2019, in St. Charles, Illinois.

Following is a list of the activities MCS researchers participated in at ATPESC 2019. For further information and slides from the presentations, see the website.
