2018 is proving to be an exciting year for the STE||AR Group. We anticipate hiring more people this year to help us work on the many new projects we and our collaborators have received. These new rolls include positions for people who are just starting their coding career. Over the summer, the STE||AR
Spreading the Word
A core belief of the STE||AR Group is that, in order to be successful in our efforts to revolutionize computing, we must garner the support and enthusiasm of the broader community. We were pleased to learn that a software engineer in Germany, Harris Brakmic, wrote a great blog post about witting applications in HPX. One section of his post that we were very excited about was his conclusion:
HPX Tutorial Promo Video
As a build up for our Supercomputing tutorial, the STE||AR Group has put together a promotional video to generate interest in HPX. The video gives viewer a high level overview of what HPX is and what will be discussed at the tutorial. The SC15 Tutorials Committee will circulate this and other tutorial videos on its YouTube playlist. We would like to thank our colleague Randy Dannenberg and his students for helping us put this together!
