The Compute Ontario Summer School on Scientific and High Performance Computing is an annual educational event for graduate/undergraduate students, postdocs and researchers to learn and share knowledge and experience in high performance and technical computing on modern HPC platforms.
Apart from the Compute Ontario Summer School Central, which will be hosted in Toronto by SciNet from June 11 to June 15, 2018, there are two other instances of the 2018 Compute Ontario summer school: One hosted by SHARCNET at Western University (May 28-Jun 1) one hosted by CAC at Queen’s University (Jul 30-Aug 3). Each of the three site has a slightly different list of courses, but all include both in-class lectures and hands-on sessions. Those who attend at least three full days cumulatively will receive an official certificate in HPC training.
The Toronto summer school (“Compute Ontario Summer School Central”), hosted by SciNet, will have the following three streams: Stream 1: High Performance computing; Stream 2: Data Science; Stream 3: Biomedical. Instructors are from SciNet, SHARCNET, and CAMH.

charge). This event is furthermore sponsored by Compute Ontario, the umbrella organization for Academic Advanced Research Computing in Ontario.
