DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Marco Rossi (MathWorks)\nAs scientific data gets big
 ger and its analyses involves increasingly complex algorithms\, access to 
 High Performance Computing (HPC) resources in the form of multi-core CPUs 
 and GPUs become essential for scientific research.\n\nOne main impediment 
 to harnessing these resources remains the high barrier to entry – HPC sy
 stems often require a deep understanding of computing architecture and com
 mand line interfaces\, a skill not many researchers possess.\n\nThe approa
 ch to parallel computing within MATLAB is to abstract away a lot of this c
 omplexity from the end-user\, so that they can progress seamlessly from th
 eir prototype on the desktop onto the cloud or the cluster. The power of t
 he [Parallel Computing Toolbox][1] and [MATLAB Parallel Server][2] is free
  and available already to more than 20+ Universities and Institutions in S
 outhern Africa\, [like CSIR and many others][3]. In this presentation\, I 
 will show how MathWorks tools can streamline research computational effort
  with three ways to make parallel programming more accessible\n\n 1. the a
 bility to scale from local machine to cluster using minimal changes to the
  code\,\n 2. the ability to submit jobs remotely to HPC clusters from with
 in the users’ local MATLAB environment using MATLAB Parallel Server\,\n 
 3. free training workshop being held globally in partnership with HPC cent
 ers to upskill scientists and researchers in parallel programming.\n\n\n
