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: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/

SUMMARY:LUMI: Hackathon - Optimizing for AMD GPUs
DESCRIPTION:The Hackathon is a way for you to get free help to optimize your software for the AMD GPUs available on LUMI-G! \nYou can apply if you are a researcher or a company located in either one of the LUMI consortium countries or a member of EuroHPC country. Ph.D. students and holders of postdoctoral fellowships are also eligible to apply. Up to six (6) projects will be selected for this hackathon. The selected projects will receive help from HPE and AMD staff of the HPE Center of Excellence for LUMI and from members of the LUMI User Support Team. The Hackathon will be on site at CSC in Espoo (close to Helsinki). The deadline for applications is February 24 2023. \nThere will be another hackathon in the second half of 2023. \nThe following sections give more detail on what to expect and describe how you can apply. In order to make sure we can properly support those who attend we are asking for some information on what you hope to achieve. \nWho can apply\nThis is an open call. Anyone who is a member of an organization eligible to receive an allocation for LUMI compute resources is also welcome to apply to this program. In brief\, this means that a research software developer affiliated with a research organization in the EuroHPC countries and/or countries part of the LUMI consortium can apply. A company\, which has its headquarters in such countries\, is also eligible. By partnering with European research groups and/or companies\, a non-European applicant can also participate\, but please note that the principal investigator of any projects that apply will need to be based in the EU or an associated country. Ph.D. students and holders of postdoctoral fellowships are also eligible to apply\, but we may ask for further letters of support in such cases. \nFor more information\, please see: \n\nLUMI General Terms of Use https://www.lumi-supercomputer.eu/lumi-general-terms-of-use_1-0/\nEuroHPC JU Access Policy https://eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/sites/default/files/2021-03/Decision%2006.2021%20-%20Access%20policy.pdf\n\nWhat we are looking for\nWe are looking for research groups and companies interested in making their scientific software utilize efficiently the new AMD GPU-compute architecture in LUMI\, in collaboration with LUMI experts. We are looking for proposals outlining a team effort of solving performance bottlenecks in existing software. The scope should be limited so that the task can be accomplished in one week with your team of two (2) to four (4) people. \nCollectively the team should know the application intimately. There will be intensive mentoring during this 5-day hands-on workshop. Mentors come from HPE’s Center of Excellence\, and the LUMI User Support Team and will help your team accomplish your team’s goal.  We expect that your software already compiles and runs on AMD GPUs\, preferably with a build system based on standard tools like Make or CMake. \nIt is an advantage if intended work is mainly in their own source code\, and not in external third-party libraries (for which they are not the main developers)\, as it may be difficult to interact quickly with third parties during the hackathon. \nWe are mainly looking for software with open source licenses\, or at least free academic use. We will consider commercially licensed software only in exceptional cases. \nHow to apply\nClosing date: 24 February 2023\, 17:00 CETHackathon period: 17-21 April 2023 \nWe will organise an accompanying course about profiling GPU programs the week before the hackathon. It will happen online on the 13 April from 9:00 until 17:00. Attendance from teams joining the hackathon is advised. \nPlease register here: https://ssl.eventilla.com/event/yWdEZ \nThe application form is relatively short and we ask for: contact information\, a short technical description of the software (programming languages\, libraries etc)\, a description of the intended work\, and a motivation for why a successful effort will useful for the end-users (scientists). \nTeams whose application successfully passes the selection process will need to register for the event to confirm participation within two weeks from notification of acceptance. The notification of acceptance will include information on how to register. \nHow we will assess your application\nAssessment process\nThe teams will be selected based on a scientific and technical review. The scientific review is performed by the LUMI consortium and/or external evaluators. The technical review is performed by the LUMI User Support Team and HPE/AMD Center of Excellence (“CoE”). We may ask for an interview to discuss your proposal (done remotely). In such case\, applicants will be provided with comments prior to the interview in order to prepare. The interview will only be focused on the technical feasibility and not on the scientific merit. \nAssessment criteria\nThe scientific assessment is mainly done with respect to the potential impact in the specific field of science where the software will be used. Relatively less importance will be paid to the scientific track record of the applicants. Furthermore\, the proposed software and/or implementation is evaluated relative to the state-of-the-art in the field\, and if a successful effort would fill a gap in the currently available software on LUMI. \n  \nThe technical assessment is mainly done with respect to the technical feasibility of porting the software to AMD GPUs and subsequently running on the LUMI supercomputer. These include both: 1) technical aspects of the software such as programming language\, the use of libraries and frameworks\, and the internal data structures and algorithms\, and 2) the practical aspects such the difficulty of achieving the goal during the hackathon and the team’s ability to participate on-site. In particular\, the software development track record of the applicant (or applicants)\, and the balance of skills in the final project team\, which will include staff from the HPE CoE and the LUMI User Support Team\, will be taken into account. Projected software speed-ups or preliminary benchmarks are helpful in the evaluation\, but are not required. \nVenue\nThe hackathon will be held at CSC – IT center for science in Espoo\, Finland on April 17-21. It will start around lunchtime on the 17th and end at lunchtime on the 21st to allow for travel. The region is served by Helsinki-Vantaan airport. It takes approximately 1h to reach CSC from the airport. We do not provide accommodation. \nContact details\nFor any other specific information\, please contact: \n\nLUMI User Support\nDetailed technical information about LUMI can be found in this blog post.
