Both events take place in the Computer Science building on the Upper Campus of UCT.
Room 303 of Computer Science from 08:00 on Monday 30 June 2014.
The Winter School starts at 08:00 on Monday 30 June 2014 with registration in room SC303, on the third floor of the Computer Science building.

See the UCT maps.
If you are driving yourself to the School, see the route maps at http://www.uct.ac.za/contact/route/
You should park in the P6 parking lot and walk along University Avenue to the Computer Science building as shown in the map at http://www.uct.ac.za/images/uct.ac.za/contact/campusmaps/big/uctuppercampus.jpg The blue disk (P6) indicates the parking lot.
The red disk (JS) just next to it shows where the Jamie Shuttle from the residence will drop you off, if you are in
Students who will be accommodated by us during the Winter School will be staying in Baxter Hall on Lower Campus. Look at the map http://www.uct.ac.za/images/uct.ac.za/contact/campusmaps/big/uctmiddlelowercampus.jpg and see that Baxter Hall is just above the note “To Rosebank Station”.
The CHPC is just below Rosebank Station, not shown in the map, and we will arrange an excursion to the Centre for those interested in seeing South Africa's supercomputer centre.
NB: note the blue dashed line on the map that leads from Baxter Hall to Upper Campus. This is the “blue light” pedestrian route from the residence to Upper Campus. It is patrolled by campus security and the recommended safer walking route.
There is also the regular Jammie Shuttle bus transport from just next to Baxter Hall, the red (JS) indicates the terminal, which you can catch every day to get to Upper Campus quickly.
Students who have their travel sponsored by us should have received your e-tickets by now. Note that transport to and from your home airport is at your own expense and own responsibility.
When you arrive at Cape Town airport, we will have the Jamie Shuttle service available to pick you up. Look out for the person with the “CHPC Winter School” sign.
And at the end of the Winter School, the Jamie Shuttle service will also shuttle you back to Cape Town airport for your return flight.
The HPC Winter School is the CHPC's flagship course in parallel programming for high performance computing covering:
Applications for The 2014 HPC Winter School are now closed.
