About the ACM Summer School on High Performance Computing

The ACM Europe Summer School on “HPC Computer Architectures for AI and Dedicated Applications” is hosted by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain. ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, is the sponsor of the school.

The summer school addresses young computer science researchers and engineers and is open to outstanding MSc students.

ACM Case Studies

Written by leading domain experts for software engineers, ACM Case Studies provide an in-depth look at how software teams overcome specific challenges by implementing new technologies, adopting new practices, or a combination of both. Often through first-hand accounts, these pieces explore what the challenges were, the tools and techniques that were used to combat them, and the solution that was achieved.
