FREE Master Class: Programming on Supercomputers @ IT Masters

The master class will run over 5 weeks from June 15 with live lectures being delivered via weekly after hours Webinars. Recordings of the Webinars will be available for those unable to attend the live events. In-between the Webinars, you will be asked to complete extra study and reading. A lab will run with access to the Supercomputer system allowing students to test the use of a Xeon Phi and CUDA based system.

Thanks to Cloudcroft for making this unique short course possible, during the course you will get real time access to Cloudcroft’s 160,600 core Super Computer which is one of the fastest systems in the world.

Based in Australia, Cloudcroft specialises in developing and researching systems to prevent cybercriminal attacks. Their flagship supercomputer, Tulip Trading, is ranked #64 in the Top 500 Supercomputer list, and ranks #88 amongst the world's most energy-efficient supercomputers on the Green 500.

In this free master class you will learn how to program and maintain parallel systems. During the course you will have real time access to one of the world’s fastest super computers where you will run simulations, develop statistical learning systems, machine learning and learn to code simple bots.

Some of the areas covered will include:

*Porting code to the Xeon Phi
*Coding Linear Methods for Regression
*Model Assessment and Selection
*Additive Models, Trees and Related Methods
*Support Vector Machines and Flexible Discriminants
*Neural Networks
*Developing using Prototype Methods and Nearest Neighbours
*Supervised and Unsupervised Learning.
