Parallel Computing with MATLAB Part I: Parallelize on your local machine

Event content

Are you curious about speeding up your computations with MATLAB? Join us for this hands-on workshop to learn how to speed up your applications on your local machine.

This workshop will focus on speeding up MATLAB on the desktop with Parallel Computing Toolbox. We will discuss best coding practices for performance in MATLAB, basic parallel programming constructs and GPU computing.

This workshop is a hands-on workshop, you will have time to work on exercises and try the concepts on your own.

Note: The course will be held in a hybrid format. This page only allows registration for in-person participation at the data center. If you instead prefer to attend online, please make sure to use the registration link on the following page: https://academy.gwdg.de/p/event.xhtml?id=66ed47545d441669671bc35f

On-site, we will be using the participants' computers, so please bring your own laptop. If you do not have one, please let us know in advance (via e-mail: support@gwdg.de)

About the Presenters:
Dr. Thomas Künzel is a member of the Academic Customer Success Team at The MathWorks. He supports the successful application of MATLAB/Simulink in basic research. Thomas studied biology at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and worked in auditory neuroscience research as a post-doc and group leader in Rotterdam and Aachen. He holds a PhD in zoology and animal physiology.

Dr. Franziska Albers is part of the Academic Customer Success team at MathWorks, which helps academics integrate MATLAB and Simulink in their teaching and research. She studied physics in Heidelberg and Münster and holds a PhD in neuroimaging from University Hospital Münster. Her research background is in MR physics and medical imaging.
