Hello, EESTECers!
We are proud to announce, once again, a great opportunity to visit
Serbia and Novi Sad, have the best workshop yet, go exploring through the
nature of the region, get virtually no sleep and greatest parties ever! To
put it simply ? welcome to the "Play with CELL" workshop!
The event will be packed with interesting lectures and practical work
about Cell architecture ? new, high-end microprocessor used in modern
PlayStation 3 video game console; exploring the nature of the region,
sightseeing and wild partying!
The event will last from October 13th to 21st, and we invite 20 people
from all over EESTEC world to come and enjoy this great workshop. Lectures
will give you necessary knowledge to understand Cell processor architecture
and how it works "under the hood". Through practical work on real equipment
you will be able to "play" with these processors and see what they can be
used for.
Apart from the working sessions, we will provide you with non-stop
partying. Each night there will be a great party with lots of people and a
great atmosphere. Once again, we plan to have a great weekend somewhere in
the nature, tours through nature and sights of the region, a visit to the
capital etc. Be prepared to a both exhausting and thrilling week this autumn
in Novi Sad.
You can apply by filling in the application form on the website of the

not be applied. For any questions, feel free to contact CP of LC Novi Sad on
cp(a)eestec-ns.org.yu. The deadline for application is September 15th.
There's just one thing left ? a warm welcome for all of you, here, in Novi
Sad!!! :)
WORKSHOP
The Cell Broadband Engine ? or Cell as it is more commonly known ? is a
microprocessor designed to bridge the gap between conventional desktop
processors and other, dedicated, graphic-processors. With its eight cores
(synergistic processing elements, SPEs), operating at frequencies of 3.2 GHz
or more, Cell processors are a modern achievement used for blade servers,
console video games, HDTV home cinema, super computing etc. Its first
commercial application was in PlayStation 3 consoles, that were introduced
in Europe not before March 2007. Therefore, we can consider Cell as
high-end, modern product that is yet to be used in many devices. Both PPE
and SPEs are programmable in C/C++ using a common API provided by libraries.
In 2000, Sony Computer Entertainment, Toshiba Corporation, and IBM
formed an alliance ("STI") to design and manufacture the processor. In March
2007 IBM announced that the 65 nm version of Cell BE is in production.
Workshop on Cell broadband engine architecture will be held at Novi Sad
Institute for Information Technologies (MicronasNIT), and will consist of 12
classes (2 blocks of lectures and 2 blocks of practical work, 3 classes per
block). Lectures and exercises will be given by experienced professors and
assistants, enrolled in many practical, commercial projects.
MicronasNIT is a research and development house that specializes in
offering high quality development services, consulting services, and
reference designs in the area of consumer electronics, multimedia and
communications.
EXPLORING
It is hard, if not impossible, for us, the citizens of Novi Sad, to talk
about our city or to show its pictures in an impartial way, without showing
how much we love it and how much we are struggling to remain worthy of its
past.
It is a city one gets to know and love easily, but also a place hard to
forget and leave forever.
Settled in the southern part of the Pannonian valley, on the left bank
of the river Danube near the pleasant mountain Fruska Gora, Novi Sad is a
city built by measure of man.
Vojvodinian plain, whose capital city is Novi Sad, determined both life
style and temperament of the native population ? here people just search for
ways to enjoy life, though not in a hurry, because they are relaxed and thus
have enough time for everything.
Find out why city of Novi Sad was and remained the cultural leader in
Serbia. Explore the plain that surrounds it, the nature beauties on the
slopes of Fruska Gora, the stories hidden behind its facade. Enjoy learning
the traditional Novi Sad's ways of having fun. Relax :)
NIGHT LIFE
Known for its cultural happenings, Novi Sad is also recognisable for its
night life. For every person, there is a place in the city where the good
time is guaranteed.
Just try to imagine one street where the party never ends ? exactly, in
Lazina street in the city center, the party lasts whole night. There are
also a lot of clubs in the center, at the Petrovaradin fortress and all
around the city; where music varies in all kinds.
One of the most attractive music festivals around Europe EXIT is being
held in Novi Sad each July. It is now in its 7th year running; which makes
it the biggest party in the region.
In LC Novi Sad there is already a tradition of organising great
parties, with good atmosphere and lots of people. After all, each ordinary
meeting of members of LC Novi Sad ends up as a party in our favourite cafe
for gathering, where it is also not unusual to finish with Karaoke
competitions.
LC Novi Sad invites you to join one extraordinary EESTEC week of
non-stop parties and having a great time!
