Target group
The target group of the summer school is advanced Master students, doctoral students, and early career researchers (PostDocs). The summer is open to excellent students from all over the world, independent of the scientific background, but anticipates familiarity with Linux, basic programming tools, and a basic understanding of high performance computing concepts.
Location
The summer school will take place as an on-site event at the TUM Campus Heilbronn, June 16th - 20th, 2026.
Program Highlights
- Focus sessions on
- Performance Engineering on Exascale Systems
- Containerization
- AI at scale
- Future Computing Technologies
- Physics-based research at scale
- HPC-driven Visualization
- A training course on Efficient Distributed GPU Programming at Exascale accessing JUPITER, Europe’s first Exascale supercomputer
- Smart Breakfasts with short talks on research and research productivity
- A conference day with worldwide renown speakers
- A public talk highlighting the relevance of HPC and AI for the general good
Application process
Applications will open soon.
Participation Fees
The € 500.- fee includes:
- Accommodation
- Meals and beverages
- Mentoring during the course
- Excursion and visits
Travel to and from Heilbronn is not included in the fee and must be arranged individually. However, a free shuttle bus will be available on the first and last day of the event, providing transport between Zurich and Heilbronn in both directions.
