Version 1
Executive Summary
This report materializes deliverable D2.4, which is the Summer School itself.
The Mont-Blanc Summer School, initially planned for the Summer of 2020, is the dissemination
activity that suffered most from the Covid crisis. We initially planned to have it as a live event
embedded within the ACM Europe Summer School in Barcelona, so as to benefit from a large
yet select audience of students (in 2019 they received 146 applications and selected 64
attendees). However, this Summer School was cancelled, the global crisis making it too difficult
to gather students from all over the world.
We had to turn to an online event, and later than initially planned, due to the delays in the
project. To maximize the reach of this event, we chose to create a tutorial that was both:
• a full-day online but live tutorial within an existing event (HiPEAC 2021 in January
2021 was ideal in terms of timing and audience);
• a MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) created out of the materials prepared and
recorded for the live tutorial. The project opened an account (https://mont-blanc-
project.moodle.school/) with Moodle Cloud, an Australian MOOC platform popular in
schools and academia. A MOOC will give a longer life and larger audience to the
materials created for the tutorial.
1. Tutorial at HiPEAC 2021 conference
The full day tutorial entitled “Testing and evaluating workloads before silicon availability – The
Mont-Blanc 2020 approach for SoC codesign“ was held on Monday, 18 January 2021. Arm,
Atos, BSC, Jülich and SiPearl shared a practical introduction to the multi-scale simulation
framework developed by the Mont-Blanc projects.

17:00 End of tutorial
The team made every effort to make this online tutorial a true learning experience:
• This tutorial was organised as an interactive event with quizzes and Q&As in each
session to stimulate exchanges with the audience. A specific tool (Mentimeter) was
used for the quizzes, as a complement to Zoom. Each attendee could take part in the
quizzes from their smartphone. Many questions were asked and answered interactively
during the different sessions.
• Each session included practical advice and examples of code to help attendees get
started with these tools.
• The materials used for the tutorial (presentations, coding examples, videos) were
quickly made available to attendees and registrants on https://www.montblanc-
project.eu/hipeac2021.
The full recording of the tutorial is available on the HiPEAC YouTube channel (and in a Mont-
Blanc YouTube playlist) at https://youtu.be/jv_n8VVMSkQ.

2. MOOC
The MOOC is composed of the same contents as the tutorial. Each presentation is a chapter
of the MOOC, with:
• the recorded video,
• the presentation slides,
• links to further useful resources,
• quiz.
The MOOC is freely available by auto-enrolment to anybody visiting the Mont-Blanc Moodle
MOOC page https://mont-blanc-project.moodle.school/.
