Seminarios de Innovación e Investigación en Informática
SIRI se organiza en actividades, evaluables por separado, a elegir entre un conjunto diverso de actividades. Se pretende que la oferta de actividades sea variada y haya un cierto grado de elección por parte del estudiante, que debe cursar las actividades suficientes para sumar 6 ECTS.
A continuación, encontrará la lista de actividades que se están llevando a cabo actualmente, y otros seminarios próximos y aquellos que ya se han llevado a cabo durante este año. La inscripción a las actividades, anunciada en esta lista, debe ser realizada directamente por los estudiantes con los organizadores de la actividad. Para certificar la asistencia a estas actividades y entregar la documentación requerida para ser evaluada deberás utilizar el Racó (mira cómo hacerlo). El estudiante acumulará ECTS hasta lograr 6 o más ECTS. Sólo entonces, el estudiante puede matricular la asignatura SIRI y aprobarla al final del semestre actual.

Descripción
All human activities have implications on our society. Research activity not only does but also the overall research system is based on trust. Then, responsible research conduct is of outmost importance. The goal of the course is to provide an overview of the rules and professional practices that are considered as responsible conduct of research and engineering. Ph. D. students, post-doctoral researchers and everybody involved in research and innovation must know the principles and practices that define a responsible conduct and the ones that are not appropriate and are identified as misconduct.
Topics include:
Introduction on Responsible Research and Innovation
Research misconduct
Authorship
Plagiarism
Peer reviews
Conflicts of interest
Mentor/mentee relationship
Collaborative research
Presenting the results
Intellectual Property
Information Privacy

All human activities have implications on our society. Professional exercise in engineering, being a researcher or running innovation projects imply making decisions that are not exclusively technical, they involve ethical considerations. Theoretical sessions are complemented with numerous examples and cases.

Descripción
This course introduces the principles of SYCL as a modern approach to heterogeneous programming in C++. Its objective is to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills to develop efficient parallel applications across diverse hardware platforms. Through a balance of theory and hands-on practice, attendees will gain an understanding of SYCL's programming model, learn how to manage memory and computation effectively, and apply tools for performance analysis. By the end of the course, participants will be able to design, implement, and optimize SYCL applications with confidence, preparing them to tackle real-world scientific and industrial workloads.
This is an expansion of the topic "OpenACC and other approaches to GPU computing" covered on last years editions of the Introduction to CUDA Programming. This course is delivered by the GPU Center of Excellence (GCOE) awarded by NVIDIA to the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) in association with Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC). It will provide very good introduction to the PUMPS Summer School run jointly with NVIDIA - Further information on the 2023 PUMPS Summer school will follow soon. As an NVIDIA GPU Center of Excellence, BSC and UPC are deeply involved in research and outreach activities around GPU Computing. OpenACC is a high-level, directive-based programming model for GPU computing. It is a very convenient language to leverage the GPU power with minimal code modifications, being the preferred option for non computer scientists. This course will cover the necessary topics to get started with GPU programming in OpenACC, as well as some advanced topics.

Descripción
The aim of this course is to provide students with knowledge and hands-on experience in developing applications software for processors with massively parallel computing resources. In general, we refer to a processor as massively parallel if it has the ability to complete more than 64 arithmetic operations per clock cycle. Many commercial offerings from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel already offer such levels of concurrency. Effectively programming these processors will require in-depth knowledge about parallel programming principles, as well as the parallelism models, communication models, and resource limitations of these processors.

IMPORTANT NOTE: each course is 15h. Once you enrol you must confirm you want to be evaluated. Then, you must conduct the required exercises / training / etc. to pass the course. For each passed course you will receive a certificate.
If you just attend one course, you get 1 ECTS. For attending two courses 2 ECTS. For attending 3 courses 3 ECTS. You cannot claim more than 3 ECTS this way. Be sure to choose the correct SIRI event (there are three, depending on the number of courses taken and the ECTS you want to claim).
