Important Details
- The Software Carpentry Workshop will be held on Saturday and Sunday, May 27-28, in room C3053, starting at 9am. For the weekend, parking is available in Lot 6 (in the courtyard of the Science Building); no parking permits are required.
- The PETSc Workshop will be held on Monday - Wednesday, May 29-31, in room A1045. The workshop will run from 9am - 4:30 pm each day, with a lunch break from noon - 1pm, and coffee breaks at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm.
- The reception will be held starting at 6:15pm on Monday, May 29th, in the Rocket Room at Rocket Bakery & Fresh Food, 272 Water Street.
- For the PETSc Workshop, bring a laptop on which you will either install the software or connect remotely to a system on which you will. In either case, be sure to have access to a working C compiler (recent gcc or clang); if you intend to use PETSc with FORTRAN code, you should have a working FORTRAN compiler as well. If you wish to use PETSc in parallel, you should have a recent MPI implementation (MPICH or OpenMPI). If you wish to use optimized direct solvers, you should also install OpenBLAS on Linux or be prepared to use veclib on OS X.
