+
+It's my privilege to attend [PUMPS+AI 2019](https://pumps.bsc.es/2019/front-page-content) summer school in Barcelona!
+The summer school was stared by my advisor, Professor Wen-mei Hwu and David Kirk (formerly of Nvidia).

+
+## Monday
+
+The first day of PUMPS, we mentored Pavel Eichler and Jakub Klinkovsky on GPU acceleration for a lattice-boltzmann-method-based computational fluid dynamics solver.
+Mert Hidayetoglu, Simon Garcia de Gonzalo, and I helped them apply some binning and scatter-to-gather transformations for a key coordinate-transformation step of their code.
+
+## Tuesday - Thursday
+
+The next three days consisted of morning lectures and afternoon hands-on labs for the students.
+I was mostly responsible for maing the sure the students could use [rai](github.com/rai-project/rai) to do their [labs](github.com/illinois-impact/gpu-algorithms-labs).
+
+## Friday
+
+The final day has the Barcelona Supercomputing Center teaching the students about OmpSs, a pragma-based parallel runtime.
