Urgent HPC

Are you involved in COVID research, or anything else related to using HPC or data-science for disaster response? if so, then you might be interested in submitting a paper to the UrgentHPC workshop to be held (in person or virtually) at SC20 with proceedings to be published in the IEEE TCHPC. You can find more information, including deadlines and author instructions, on our website at https://urgenthpc.com/

HPC Certification webinar

Wednesday 22nd July 2020 15:00 - 16:00 BST

Julian Kunkel, University of Reading

The HPC community has always considered the training of new and existing HPC practitioners to be of high importance to its growth. The significance of training will increase even further in the era of Exascale when HPC encompasses even more scientific disciplines. This diversification of HPC practitioners challenges the traditional training approaches, which are not able to satisfy the specific needs of users, often coming from non-traditionally HPC disciplines and only interested in learning a particular set of skills. HPC centres are struggling to identify and overcome the gaps in users' knowledge.

How should we support prospective and existing users who are not aware of their own knowledge gaps?

The goals of the HPC Certification Forum are:

  • Standardizing the HPC knowledge representation into fine-grained competences
  • Establishing international recognized certificates attesting knowledge
  • Supporting an ecosystem around the HPC competences

This talk introduces the HPC Certification Forum and gives an overview of its activities and status.

This online session is open to all.

HPC Performance Tools: 34th VI-HPS Tuning Workshop

28 - 30 July 2020

This workshop is organised by VI-HPS for the ARCHER2 service and the UK PRACE Advanced Training Centre to:

  • give an overview of the VI-HPS programming tools suite
  • explain the functionality of individual tools, and how to use them effectively
  • offer hands-on experience and expert assistance using the tools

On completion participants should be familiar with common performance analysis and diagnosis techniques and how they can be employed in practice (on a range of HPC systems).

Presentations and hands-on sessions are on the following topics:

  • Paraver/Dimemas (BSC)
  • TAU (UOregon)
  • Score-P/Scalasca/Cube (JSC)
  • MAQAO (UVSQ)
  • ARM Forge (ARM)

A brief overview of the capabilities of these and associated tools is provided in the VI-HPS Tools Guide.
