SUMMARY:Introduction Scientific Visualisation with Blender: Data\, Lights\, Camera\, Action!
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to make 3D visualizations that are visually more attractive than what ParaView or VisIt can provide? Do you need an image for a grant application that needs to look spectacular? Would you like to create a cool animation of your simulation data? Then this course may be for you! \nSign up\n\n\n\n\nWhat will you learn?\nThe goal of this course is to provide you with hands-on knowledge to produce great images and basic animations from 3D scientific data. We will be using the open-source package Blender (http://www.blender.org)\, which provides good basic functionality\, while also being usable for advanced usage and general editing of 3D data. It is also a lot of fun to work with (once you get used to its graphical interface). \nExample types of relevant scientific data are 3D cell-based simulations\, 3D models from photogrammetry\, (isosurfaces of) 3D medical scans\, molecular models and earth sciences data. Note that we don’t focus on information visualization of abstract data\, such as graphs (although you could convert those into a 3D model first and then use them in Blender). \nWe like to encourage participants to bring along the data they normally work with\, or a sample thereof\, and would like to apply the course knowledge to. \nFor whom?\nAnyone interesting in learning how to design attractive visualizations. We assume the context to be an academic setting\, but it is don’t make many assumptions on use cases for Blender\, and we are happy to help to how we can use Blender to make attractive visuals of the data. \nPrerequisites\nIt helps to have some familiarity with basic 3D graphics concepts (transformations\, rendering)\, but it is not mandatory. \nYou will need to have a laptop\, preferably with an acceptable GPU\, where you can install Blender during the course. \n

SUMMARY:Advanced LUMI course
DESCRIPTION:This four-day course on-site in Amsterdam serves as a comprehensive discussion of the LUMI architecture and programming environment. It will include lessons on compiling and using software\, programming models (HIP and OpenMP offload)\, porting\, executing jobs\, and optimizing applications to run on AMD MI250X. After completing the course\, you will be able to work efficiently on both the CPU (LUMI-C) and the GPU partition (LUMI-G). \nSign upPlease note that this is an advanced\, comprehensive course with an emphasis on code development. LUST is also organizing recurring one- or two-day introduction courses to LUMI. These courses cover the most important topics needed to install and use software on LUMI\, as well as run jobs efficiently on LUMI-C and -G. The next course will be announced shortly. All courses assume some familiarity with HPC\, for example\, from courses organized by most local compute centers\, and are designed to focus on LUMI-specific elements. \nCourse Prerequisites\nParticipants are expected to have: \n\nSolid knowledge of HPC cluster computing.\nFamiliarity with Linux command line and programming (C\, Fortran\, or Python).\n\nThis is not a high performance computing intro course but a in-depth discussion of the specifics and peculiarities of LUMI. \nLearning Outcomes\nAfter completing this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the specifics and peculiarities of the LUMI hardware and software\nWrite job scripts to get the best performance\, for example through efficient GPU binding\nCompile programs utilize the Cray Programming Environment efficiently\nProfile their application in order to understand performance bottlenecks\nUse parallel debuggers to solve problems in MPI applications\n\nEvent info\nThe course will be jointly conducted by the LUMI HPE Centre of Excellence (HPE CoE)\, AMD and the LUMI User Support Team (LUST). Several staff members from HPE\, AMD and LUST will be on-site\, so this is the perfect moment for interaction with them. \nThe course is intended for users with ongoing projects on LUMI\, users with project proposals in one of the national or EuroHPC channels\, and support staff of local organizations of the LUMI consortium members. \nThe venue is at the offices of SURF in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands. See the bottom of this page for more information on the venue. Participants are themselves responsible for all travel bookings. \nIf registrations exceed the number of planned participants\, we will maintain a waiting list. The registration link can be found at the bottom of this page. The registration deadline is 21. October 2024\, at 16:00 CET.
