SUMMARY:Introduction Training Supercomputing Part II
DESCRIPTION:If you need to perform many calculations\, or analyses that are too big for your own system\, clusters and supercomputers provide the computing power you need. In this course\, you will learn to work with the national supercomputer Snellius. \n  \nSign Up\nWhat will you learn in this course?\nThis course is a continuation of the first introduction course to Supercomputing\, where you can take a deeper dive in the use of supercomputers with some particular focus in efficiency and good practices and an eminently practical approach. \nThe outline of this sesión includes the following modules: \n\nFundamentals of performance analysis. This technical introductory presentation introduces hybrid high-performance systems\, abstractly covering the system’s architecture and configuration. Our goal is to enhance the understanding of HPC complexity before delving into the importance of performance analysis models. Special focus will be given to the Roofline model.\n\nAbstract modeling of hybrid supercomputers. To present an abstract modeling approach for hybrid supercomputers\, condensing their complexity into three core parameters: peak performance\, memory\, and network bandwidth.\nPerformance analysis. To explore performance analysis\, starting with an overview of various models and delving into the specifics of the roofline model.\nThe Roofline model. To describe the roofline model and present its practical application through clear explanations and demonstrations.\n\n\nFile systems. This practical session covers the correct usage of file systems on HPC systems\, especially on Snellius.\nSlurm hybrid jobs. Slurm\, a prevalent job scheduler for High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems\, has been introduced in previous sections for fundamental understanding. This module advances the specifics of resource allocation parameters for hybrid shared- and distributed-memory jobs.\n\nNodes\, cores\, and tasks. This segment will delve into the fundamental concepts of nodes\, cores\, and tasks\, shedding light on their roles within the context of HPC systems.\nBindings. The concept of bindings will be explored\, providing insights into how tasks are linked to specific resources enhancing participants’ understanding of resource allocation mechanisms.\nHands on. We will execute the vector addition kernel with multiple configurations using a set of scripts.\n\n\nQCG Pilotjob. In some cases\, users have to execute a large amount of lightweight cases. However\, supercomputer’s nodes are too powerful and allow only relatively big partitions. For instance\, the smallest allocation possible on Snellius is 1/4 of a node: 32 cores and 64 GB. Job concurrency is a common strategy to efficiently launch multiple light jobs on such big partitions.\n\nFundamentals of job concurrency. This segment delves into the foundational principles underlying job concurrency. Job concurrency is a methodological approach that enables the simultaneous execution of multiple smaller jobs within a larger allocated partition. The objective is to optimize resource utilization and enhance efficiency in scenarios where lighter tasks are executed on nodes designed for heavier workloads.\nHands on QCG PilotJob. This practical session provides participants with hands-on experience working with the QCG Pilotjob framework. Participants will gain practical insights into the strategies and techniques of utilizing job concurrency to launch and manage multiple lightweight jobs within the context of sizable node partitions.\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\nParticipation in the course Introduction to Supercomputing\, Part I \nThe language of instruction is English \nLocation\nThis course takes place at the VU Campus\nDe Boelelaan 1081\, Amsterdam – Room WN-C203/C255 \nView the floor plan here

SUMMARY:Introduction training supercomputing part II
DESCRIPTION:What will you learn in this course?\nThis course is a follow-up to the first introductory Supercomputing course\, where you can take a deeper dive into the use of supercomputers with a special focus on efficiency and good practices and a very practical approach. \nSign up\n\n\n\n\nThe format of this course includes the following modules: \n\nFundamentals of performance analysis. This introductory technical presentation introduces high-performance hybrid systems\, abstractly covering the architecture and configuration of the system. Our aim is to enhance the understanding of HPC complexity before delving deeper into the importance of performance analysis models. Special attention is paid to the Roofline model.\n\nAbstract Modelling hybrid supercomputers. Presenting an abstract modelling approach for hybrid supercomputers\, condensing their complexity into three key parameters: peak performance\, memory and network bandwidth.\nPerformance analysis. Explore performance analysis\, starting with an overview of different models and going deeper into the specifics of the roofline model.\nThe roofline model. Describing the roofline model and presenting its practical application through clear explanations and demonstrations.\n\n\nFile systems. This practical session covers the proper use of file systems on HPC systems\, especially on Snellius.\nSlurm hybrid tasks. Slurm\, a widely used job scheduler for high-performance computing (HPC) systems\, has been introduced in earlier sections for a basic understanding. This module covers the specific resource allocation parameters for hybrid jobs with shared and distributed memory.\n\nNodes\, cores and tasks. This segment covers the fundamental concepts of nodes\, cores and tasks\, and highlights their role within the context of HPC systems.\nBindings. The concept of bindings is explored\, providing insight into how tasks are associated with specific resources\, improving participants’ understanding of resource allocation mechanisms.\nHands on. We will run the vector optics kernel with multiple configurations using a set of scripts.\n\n\nQCG pilot job. In some cases\, users need to run a large number of lightweight cases. However\, the nodes of supercomputers are too powerful and only allow relatively large partitions. For example\, the smallest possible allocation on Snellius is 1/4 of a node: 32 cores and 64 GB. Job concurrency is a common strategy for efficiently launching multiple lightweight jobs on such large partitions.\n\nFundamentals of job concurrency. This segment discusses the basic principles underlying job concurrency. Job concurrency is a methodological approach that enables the simultaneous execution of multiple smaller jobs within a larger allocated partition. The goal is to optimise resource utilisation and improve efficiency in scenarios where lighter tasks are executed on nodes designed for heavier workloads.\nHands-on QCG PilotJob. This hands-on session provides participants with hands-on experience of the QCG Pilotjob framework. Participants will gain practical insights into the strategies and techniques of using job concurrency to launch and manage multiple lightweight jobs within the context of bulky node partitions.\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\nParticipation in the course Introduction to Supercomputing\, Part I \nThe language of instruction is English \nLocation\nThis training course takes place at the VU Campus\nDe Boelelaan 1081\, Amsterdam – Room WN-C203/C255 \nView the floor plan here \n\n\n\n\n\nSign in

SUMMARY:Spring HPC School: Introduction to Advanced Computing
DESCRIPTION:For whom?\nThis introductory course is aimed at first-time and novice users of high-performance computing facilities. Many researchers can benefit from using a such supercomputing facilities to speed up their research or enable them to solve bigger problems. \nSign up\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to expect?\nDay 1 & 2 \nIn the first two half-day sessions (primer course) you will learn how to use (remote) Linux machines\, demystify the Linux terminal\, upload & edit files\, automating tasks etc. We will cover the basics of file version control using Git. In addition\, we will talk about the “supercomputing staircase” and how you as a TU/e researcher can gain access to suitable computing facilities\, both local & national. The knowledge in this course is also a prerequisite for other sessions in the Spring HPC School. \nDay 3 \nThe third day will be an introduction to spuercomputing with hands-on. If you need to perform many calculations\, or analyses that are too big for your own system\, clusters and supercomputers will provide the computing power you need. You will learn how to work with these large computing systems! \nDuring this do you will: \n\nunderstand what is high-performance computing (HPC)\nlearn basic details on clusters and supercomputers\ndo practical exercises on the national supercomputer Snellius effectively\napply the essential best practices on how to work effectively with large HPC systems\n\nDay 4 \nFinally\, the fourth day will be dedicated to cloud computing. Do you want to create and manage your own work environment and run powerful applications on it? SURF Research Cloud opens the door to cloud computing on different platforms. During this day\, your workload runs on the SURF HPC Cloud platform in Amsterdam. \nPrerequisites\n\nBasic knowledge of Unix shell is useful.\nBring your own laptop.\nA browser (Chrome or Firefox is good enough).\nExperience with Linux commands helps\, but is not a requirement.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up
