gem5 bootcamp in Latin America from November 25th to 30th, 2024!

[ivanaamit]

I am pleased to invite the community to the "gem5 - Computer Architecture Research Bootcamp" to be held from November 25th to 30th at the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires (tentative schedule from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm), in Pavilion 0 + inf, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In this workshop, you will learn about processor simulators used in the research and development of processor architecture. Specifically, we will use gem5, one of the most widely used tools in this field, both in academia and industry. You will see how to run experiments using the simulator and explore everything that can be done with such simulators.

The bootcamp will span several full days and include an interactive workshop focused on learning gem5. During this workshop, you'll apply hands-on the architecture concepts taught in class.

The workshop is designed to be inclusive, without assuming any prior experience with gem5. The goal is to provide participants with a solid foundation in gem5 that enables them to conduct research in computer architecture. For those students not based in Buenos Aires, we are looking into providing scholarships to help cover travel expenses.

This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students (academic credit is being processed).

The instructors for the course are:

• Elba Garza (Assistant Teaching Professor, Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA USA)
• Tamara Silbergleit Lehman (Assistant Professor, Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering, University of Colorado Boulder, USA)
• Jason Lowe-Power (Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of California, USA)

It’s not yet confirmed, but we may be able to offer financial support (at least partially) to cover travel and accommodation expenses in Buenos Aires during the course.

Please fill out the form to let us know if you're interested in attending and if you'll need financial assistance: https://forms.gle/qYZmxKat1MvPq2qw5

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

Best regards,

Tengo el gusto de invitar a la comunidad al "gem5 - Computer Architecture Research Bootcamp" a realizarse del 25 al 30 de Noviembre en la Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (horario tentativo 9:00hs a 17:00hs), en el Pabellón 0 + inf, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

En este taller aprenderás sobre simuladores de procesadores utilizados en el campo de investigación y desarrollo de la arquitectura de procesadores. Específicamente se utilizará gem5, una de las herramientas más utilizadas en este campo, tanto en la Academia como en la Industria. Se verá cómo ejecutar experimentos utilizando el simulador y todo lo que se puede hacer con este tipo de simuladores.

El bootcamp abarcará varios días completos y contará con un taller interactivo enfocado en el aprendizaje de gem5 en el que se aplicará de manera hands-on los conceptos de arquitecturas explicados en clase.

El taller está diseñado para ser inclusivo, sin dar por sentada experiencia previa con gem5. El objetivo es proporcionar a los participantes una base sólida en gem5 que habilite el poder realizar investigación en arquitectura de computadoras. Para aquellos estudiantes que no se encuentren en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, se está buscando ayuda para otorgar becas de ayuda económica para asistir.

Este curso puede ser tomado por estudiantes de grado y de posgrado (se está tramitando puntaje).

Los profesores a cargo del curso son:

• Elba Garza (Assistant Teaching Professor, Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA USA)
• Tamara Silbergleit Lehman (Assistant Professor, Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, University of Colorado Boulder, USA)
• Jason Lowe-Power (Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science. University of California, USA)

Todavía no está confirmado, pero es posible que contemos con ayuda para costear (al menos parcialmente) el traslado y la estadía en Buenos Aires durante el curso.

Completa el formulario para decirnos que tenes ganas de asistir y si vas a necesitar beca para hacerlo: https://forms.gle/qYZmxKat1MvPq2qw5

Cualquier cosa, no dudes en contactarnos a [email protected].

Saludos.
