SCITAS activities, April 2015
© 2015 EPFL
The Scientific IT and Application Support Center has a rich set of activities ready for April 2015: new regular training courses have been created and invited lecturers will give workshops on several topics around HPC.
All the workshops and training courses are detailed on our web page.
April 8 to 10 and April 14 to 16: Introduction to parallel programming
The course is organized as a three-day, intensive, full-time course. After an introduction to various parallelization models, the course focuses on the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard and the shared memory programming paradigm OpenMP.
No prior experience of parallel programming is required but a working knowledge of either Fortran or C/C++ as well as a basic knowledge of Unix/Linux is mandatory.
April 14: Meet the SCITAS team around coffee and doughnuts
We welcome our users to our offices for an informal coffee, with doughnuts, at 10am.
April 15: Achieving High Performance I/O using the ADIOS framework
This advanced workshop by Dr Scott Klasky from Oak Ridge National Laboratory will tackle high-performance I/O.
April 16: CSCS orientation course @ EPFL
Writing a proposal for CPU time at CSCS? Then this workshop is for you! Bring your proposal draft and your code and the CSCS experts will lead the way for a successful submission.
April 17: CP2K on Intel Xeon Phi
This talk will present our experiences of porting and optimising codes for the Intel Xeon Phi co-processor card and focus on the process of porting the CP2K computational chemistry code to the Xeon Phi.
April 21 to April 22: Intel Xeon Phi workshop
This intensive workshop is aimed at researchers or application experts willing to port codes to the Xeon Phi Architecture. Intel will prepare some introductory material that must be viewed before the training, to allow us to start full-speed the 1st day tutorial and dedicate the 2nd day to porting applications.
April 22: Introduction to Linux
This half-day workshop will give the basis on working on a Linux server as a researcher end-user.
April 30: Introduction to profiling and software optimization
A full-day workshop to enable you to profile your code in order to measure the performance of your code and optimize it accordingly.
