In the 4^th edition of the annual CERN Numerical Computing workshop we will be focusing more on vectorization and the efficiency of floating point. Again, we are proud to welcome world-class experts as speakers:

• Florent de Dinechin will cover the metalibm package and FPGA floating point,
• Agner Fog will speak about vector classes and instruction throughput measurements (w/ hands-on labs),
• Danilo Piparo will introduce HEP floating point computing and the VDT library,
• Lorenzo Moneta will floating point cover issues related to data analysis,
• Jeff Arnold will provide a solid base and refresher for floating-point computing on modern x86 and with the GCC/ICC compilers (w/ labs).

The special guest speaker will be Agner Fog, a performance programming specialist, whose instruction tables and optimization guides have been of great help to many of us: http://agner.org/optimize/

An Indico page will be put up shortly – all classes will be held in Room 11 of the Technical Training Center (bldg. 593) starting at 9am.
