Optimising floating point workshop – Registrations open!
Scientific applications in high energy physics depend in many areas on floating point operations in single, double or even higher precision. With the upcoming runs at the LHC, both the amount of data and the precision for its calculation will increase significantly and therefore the computing resource requirements. It has already been proven that the…
