Summer School on High-Performance and Disruptive Computing in Remote Sensing

General Information 

Welcome to the summer school organized by the High-Performance and Disruptive Computing in Remote Sensing (HDCRS) Working Group. HDCRS is part of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), in particular of the Earth Science Informatics (ESI) Technical Committee.

This school is the perfect venue to network with students and young professionals, as well as senior researcher and professors who are world-renowned leaders in the field of remote sensing and work on interdisciplinary research with high performance computing, cloud computing, quantum computing and parallel programming models with specialized hardware technologies.

Contents 

Each year the school focuses on specific subjects that are included in the topics addressed by HDCRS. This year the programme includes:

• Topic 1: From HPC to Quantum paradigms in Earth Observation
• Topic 2: Programming GPUs and Accelerators with Directives
• Topic 3: Scaling Machine Learning for Remote Sensing using Cloud Computing

Registration

Participation is free of charge. For the first 30 registrations, we will provide special accounts  for accessing computing resources to be used during the practical sessions. The rest of the attendees will be able to participate as viewer only. 

Venue 

This school will take place as an online event. The link to the streaming platform will be provided to the registrants only.

Recordings 

The lectures will be recorded and made available online through the GRSS YouTube channel.
