Provisional Programme
The school will consist of a series of lectures with emphasis on astrophysical problems where possible, including a course on MPI, an introduction to grid technology, lectures on adaptive mesh refinement techniques and sessions on virtual observatories and analysis of large datasets.
Shorter presentations will address applications of HPC to astrophysical problems such as 3D radiative transfer, large scale jet simulations and jet stability, among others. During the school, the participants will have access to a computer lab to facilitate hands-on exercises. There will also be a limited number of contributed oral presentations from the participants.
The JETSET Board and Science Meetings will take place at the end of the School.
