HDCRS Summer school 2021
Introduction
Welcome to the summer school organized by the High-Performance and Disruptive Computing in Remote Sensing (HDCRS) Working Group. HDCRS is part of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), in particular of the Earth Science Informatics (ESI) Technical Committee.
This school is the perfect venue to network with students and young professionals, as well as senior researcher and professors who are world-renowned leaders in the field of remote sensing and work on interdisciplinary research with high performance computing, cloud computing, quantum computing and parallel programming models with specialized hardware technologies.
Lecture topics and instructors
Topic 1: From HPC to Quantum paradigms in Earth Observation
The lecture overviews the computational requirements emerging from the EO technology and applications. The basic computer architectures and their evolution related to the EO particularities are explained.
Topic 2: Programming GPUs and Accelerators with Directives
The lecture reviews heterogeneous parallel architectures, modern accelerators and their programming model. OpenMP and OpenACC are used to implement algorithms to process remote sensing data.
Topic 3: Scaling Machine Learning for Remote Sensing using Cloud Computing
This lecture introduces ML lifecycle and demonstrates end-to-end remote sensing ML application from data collection, model development and evaluation to deployment using a cloud computing environment.
Organizers
- Chairs of HDCRS (Gabriele Cavallaro, Dora Blanco Heras, Zebin Wu)
