We are pleased to announce the C++ for C Programmers Training being held on September 13th, 2019 from 9am to 5pm CT.

C++ can be considered as a superset of C, but this view often leads to un-idiomatic C++ programming. In this short course we both show the new mechanisms of C++, and we explain what C mechanisms, while available, should no longer be used.

The first half of this course covers mostly object-oriented programming and parameter passing with references; the second half covers advanced topics such as smart pointers, exceptions, iterators, lambdas, templates. It will be pointed which features are specific to the C++14 and C++17 standards.

This training will be available to both in-person and remote attendees via webcast. Local participants are strongly encouraged to attend in-person.

Last chance to register (deadline Aug 30) and submit an abstract for presentation (deadline Aug 16) at the TACC Symposium for Texas Researchers (TACCSTER) being held on September 26-27, 2019 at the Texas Advanced Computing Center in Austin, Texas.

TACCSTER is a meeting of scientists, engineers and scholars from across the state of Texas who use, and would like to use, the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) to advance their research goals. This meeting will be an opportunity for you to:

     * Showcase your ongoing research involving TACC resources
     * Attend and participate in Birds-of-a-Feather panel discussions
     * Learn new and useful computing skills from a variety of tutorials
     * Network with other Texas-based researchers
     * Hear information about the latest TACC systems and services

Are you in need of highly parallel computing at an unprecedented scale? TACC is currently deploying NSF’s new flagship system Frontera, which will serve the ever growing needs of the scientific community. We invite you to join us at TACC for a full day of presentations and discussions focused on Frontera’s outstanding capabilities. We will introduce the system and its new and innovative components, and will discuss how to optimally compile, launch, and execute scientific applications at large scale. Much emphasis will be put on the description of available MPI stacks and on tuning MPI and hybrid (MPI+OpenMP) applications via environment variables. The schedule will allow for many opportunities to interact with TACC staff and to discuss general and/or user specific topics. This event is open to the large early-user community that is already using Frontera, and to any current or future user of TACC resources.

This training will be available to both in-person and remote attendees via webcast. Local participants are strongly encouraged to attend in-person.
