**Buildings on the ISU campus do not have street addresses.
*Please bring your own laptop to the CDT 102 training, below is a list of the necessary specifications:
- Windows (XP or newer), Mac OS X (10.5 or later), or Linux (something from the 21st century)
- Wired (Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi 802.11g or later) network connectivity
- Web Browser (any)
- On Windows: Putty and Pageant (www.putty.org) and WinSCP (www.winscp.net)
- On Mac OS X and Linux: ssh client
- Optional: on all operating systems, the free software NoMachine (www.nomachine.com). This is only necessary if you are not comfortable programming in Linux in a text terminal over an SSH connection. System requirements and installation instructions for NoMachine can be found here.
Parking: The nearest paid parking is lot 21 next to the Armory, located about two blocks North-Northwest from the Durham Center. This is a pre-pay parking lot and costs .75 cents /hour. If lot 21 is full, additional parking can be found at the Memorial Union parking ramp located about 4 blocks South-Southwest of the Durham Center. Please follow the link below to review the locations

Space is limited ... register early!
This one-day labs course features hands-on exercises on the available programming models and best optimization practices for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor and Intel Xeon processor, and on the usage of the Intel software development and diagnostic tools.
The session will cover:
- Offload and Native: "Hello World" to complex; using MPI.
- Performance Analysis: VTune.
- Case Study: All aspects of tuning in the N-body calculation.
- Optimization I: Strip mining for vectorization, parallel reduction.
- Optimization II: Loop tiling, thread affinity.
