Instructor

  • Rolf Rabenseifner, HLRS
  • Neil Stringfellow, CSCS

Registration fee

This fee covers administrative charges, all coffee breaks as well as the slides, CD and manuals provided during the course.

Academia

  • Employees/students from Swiss educational/research institutions: CHF 150
  • Employees/students from non-Swiss educational/research institutions: CHF 150

Industry

  • Employees from industry: CHF 1500.

Technical Requirements

All participants must bring their own laptop to work on. Required software must be pre-installed before the start of the course. Please see below for software requirements.

 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Microsoft Windows (XP/2003/Vista)

 

 

X Window Server available from Sourceforge website.

Please install the following three executables:

  • Xming-6-9-0-31-setup
  • Xming-fonts-7-4-0-3-setup
  • Xming-mesa-6-9-0-31-setup

You should also get a PuTTY-SSH client preinstalled.

Linux

 

Ensure you have an SSH distribution installed and have access to secure shell, secure copy and ftp commands:

  • which ssh
  • which scp
  • which sftp

If this is not the case download OpenSSH from the following website.

 

Check you are running an X Window System (X11) with an OpenGL implementation that supports 2D and 3D graphic applications: 

 

  • who -r
  • glxinfo | grep -1 opengl

The output of the first command for the current runlevel should return the value "5".

Test it running the basic OpenGL Gears 3D application provided by default to any OpenGL implementation:

 

  • glxgears

A window will open with a 3 colored gears rotating all-together. 

See http://www.x.org/wiki/ for downloading/ configuring/ installing X.org.

 

Mac OS X (10.5 or later)

You will find the "X11" application under Applications/Utilities/X11

ssh should be available by default.
