Introduction to programation with C language

• Olivier Mattelaer (UCLouvain/CISM)

Room: MERCATOR B336 <p>C is a very performant language on which are build C++ but also Python (and many others). Even if this language is now mainly superseeded by C++, it is important to understand the basic of the language if you want to learn C++ and or Cuda programming (for GPU).</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="10px"> <tbody> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <p><strong>Contents:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Basic of C programming</li> <li>pointer concept</li> <li>array</li> <li>memory management</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Prerequisite:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Being able to use SSH with private keys&nbsp;</li> <li>Being familiar with a text editor&nbsp;</li> <li>Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Prerequisite for:</strong></p> <ul> <li>CUDA programming</li> </ul> <p><strong>Type:</strong>&nbsp;Hands-on<br /> <strong>Target audience</strong>: Rookie programmer<br /> <strong>Must:&nbsp;</strong>This session is a nice-to-have for those who need to develop fast scientific software.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

Introduction to Julia

• Cédric Simal (Université de Namur)

Room: MERCATOR B336 Julia is a recent (2012) programming language created at the MIT with the aim to provide performance on par with the likes of C and Fortran, with the ease of use of languages like Python and Matlab. The goal of this session is to introduce the key ideas of Julia while giving as many pointers for getting started as possible. <tr> <td> <p><strong>Contents:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Basics of Julia</li> <li>Multiple Dispatch</li> <li>Benchmarking</li> <li>Parallel Programming</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Prerequisite:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Being able to use SSH with private keys&nbsp;</li> <li>Being familiar with a text editor&nbsp;</li> <li>Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Type:</strong>&nbsp;Hands-on<br> <strong>Target audience</strong>: Rookie programmer<br> <strong>Must:&nbsp;</strong>This session is a nice-to-have for those who need to develop fast scientific software.</p> </td> </tr>
