The 4th school on Computing Challenges for the next decade is here! This school includes dedicated lectures on artificial intelligence and machine learning, programming in new accelerator platforms such as GPUs and FPGAs, real time computing, event simulations, differential programming, computing infrastructures and sustainability. It also includes topical lectures explaining new advanced computing technologies and strategies which are being adopted in different fields to cope with the data challenges in the next decade.

The school will take place from 8th to 15th April in Zaragoza, hosted by the Center for Astroparticle and High Energy Physics (CAPA) of the Zaragoza University. Recently appointed as a university research institute, CAPA’s activities cover a highly multidisciplinary environment that bridges high-energy physics, nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, astroparticle physics and theoretical physics, as well as the associated technological developments. Its research combines detector technology and data analysis to address fundamental questions in physics beyond the Standard Model.

Registration is open from 1st February to 1st March here.
