This summer school is supported by the International Center for Elementary Particle Physics at the University of Tokyo, and the KEK Inter-Institution Network for Accelerator Science (FY 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summer school course focuses on computing techniques in particle, nuclear, and astrophysics experiments. Participating students will learn software-related techniques such as programming languages, statistical analysis tools, multivariate analysis and machine learning, GPU programming, and detector simulations, as well as computing-related techniques such as computer and network fundamentals, computer clusters, container technology, and distributed computing environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This summer school has been held annually at KEK since 2017, but was cancelled in FY2020 due to covid-19. This fourth edition, in 2021, was held virtually, using Zoom for training, a hands-on environment prepared on AWS, Slack for communication, and Jupyter Notebook for sharing materials. Forty-one students from 13 universities (27 laboratories) participated, and 20 Consortium faculty members served as instructors. Among the lecturers, five faculty members from the Computing Research Center contributed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"724\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20210928-fig1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2913\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.kek.jp\/display\/PPCC\/PPCC-SS-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/wiki.kek.jp\/display\/PPCC\/PPCC-SS-2021<\/a> (in Japanese)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A five-day computing summer school for graduate students was held by the Particle Physics Computing Consortium from August 2 to 6, 2021. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2913,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","vkexunit_cta_each_option":""},"categories":[10,66],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2915"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2915"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2916,"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2915\/revisions\/2916"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.kek.jp/arl\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
