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

Here you will see how to deal with parallel profiling and explore the knobs and dials that make your code exploit the best possible performance\, just like domain decomposition techniques and parallel I/O. Each of these sessions includes hands-on exercises to facilitate the understanding of the different constructs. Moreover\, you will also obtain some insight on useful parallel libraries and routines for scientific code development. \nWhat?\nIn this course you will: \n\nUnderstand how to work with MPI and OpenMP with many examples from scientific applications\nLearn when and how to apply different parallelization strategies\nExperience how to develop and optimize code step by step for its use on a supercomputer\n\nWho?\nEveryone interested in learning how to make efficient use of MPI and OpenMP for different scientific applications \nRequirements:\n\nBasic knowledge of Linux\nBasic knowledge of programming\, particularly with C/C++ or Fortran\nBasic knowledge of parallel computing. No specific experience with supercomputing systems is necessary.\nBasic knowledge of MPI and OpenMP constructs (provided in the basic course)\n\nYou should have:\nYour own laptop with an up-to-date browser and a terminal emulator. The use of the operating systems Linux and macOS is preferred\, but not mandatory. For Windows users we recommend to download MobaXterm (portable version) as terminal emulator. \nAcknowledgments\nPart of the materials from this course are kindly provided by the collaboration between PRACE and HLRS. \nBasic course\nIf you are not familiar with MPI/OpenMP\, you may get the necessary knowledge right on time in the basic course.

SUMMARY:Course Basic Parallel Programming with MPI and OpenMP
DESCRIPTION:This 2-day basic course is focused on providing an introduction to parallel programming using the most widely used approaches: Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP). \n\n\n\n\n\nYou will start exploring the benefits (and limitations) of parallel programming\, and then you will explore the possibilities that task and data parallelism offer to develop multi-core and multi-node programs. Each session includes hands-on exercises to facilitate the understanding of the different constructs. As a participant\, you have already some familiarity with C or Fortran programming\, and in these two days you will be able to start the development of your own parallel application. \nRequirements\n\nBasic knowledge of one programming language among C\, Fortran or Python\nBasic knowledge of the operating system Linux\n\nPart of the materials from this course are kindly provided by the collaboration between PRACE and HLRS. \nAdvanced course\nRight after this short course you will have the opportunity to continue exploring advanced topics on parallel programming and everyday use of MPI/OpenMP. For this you’ll also need to register for the following advanced course. \n\nSign up

SUMMARY:Introduction to supercomputing
DESCRIPTION:When you need to perform many calculations\, or analyses that are too large 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 and the national computing cluster Lisa. \n  \n\n\n\nWhat will you learn in this training?\nIn this training you will do practical exercises to learn how to effectively use the national computing cluster Lisa and the national supercomputer Snellius and how to complete your tasks with minimal effort in the shortest possible time. \nFor whom?\nAnyone who wants to know how to perform massive computing tasks.\nThe language of instruction is English. \nPrerequisites\nBasic knowledge of Unix shell is helpful. \n\n\n\n\nSign up for free

SUMMARY:Bonn Sustainable AI Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:Theme 2023: Sustainable AI Across Borders\,\nDate: May 30th to June 1st  2023\,\nLocation: Universitätsclub Bonn\, Germany\n\nAre you interested in what AI means in terms of sustainability? On the one hand\, wonderful solutions can be achieved through AI\, on the other hand\, it also causes great CO2 emissions. How can you deal with this? The Sustainable AI event organized by Bonn Sustainable AI lab affiliated with Bonn University in Germany addresses this.\n\nThis is the second Sustainable AI conference organized by the Bonn Sustainable AI lab at Bonn University’s Institute for Science and Ethics (IWE). The focus of the first conference in June 2021 was to create a community of researchers in the space of Sustainable AI and to raise awareness on the topic. The second conference will focus on cross cultural perspectives to address the variety and scope of ethical issues on a global scale.\n\nAn inspiration for this theme is to acknowledge the reality that certain countries play an integral role in the early production phase and the waste management but may never experience the benefits of AI.\n\nRegistrate (no costs): https://sustainable-ai-conference.eu/
