CURIE is currently being upgraded with a 1.5 Pflop/s partition of x86 thin nodes, after being extended with a 200 Tflop/s hybrid partition based on the latest NVIDIA M2090 GPUs. Altogether this will lead to a global peak performance of more than 1.8 Pflop/s.

CURIE hybrid partition, which will be opened to European scientists through preparatory access calls before the end of 2011, will be the first large scale hybrid system available into the PRACE Research Infrastructure.

The PRACE Autumn School will focus on advanced hybrid programming, benefitting from early access on this brand new CURIE GPU partition for hands-on exercises.

Attendance is free for all academics affiliated to PRACE member countries. For further details and registration, please see: http://www.prace-ri.eu/PRACE-Autumn...
