[ONLINE] Access to LUMI (EuroCC)
Zoom
This course is dedicated to the supercomputer LUMI. EuroHPC Joint Undertaking’s LUMI supercomputer reached the third spot on the Top500 list of the world’s fastest supercomputers released at the SC22 conference in Dallas, USA, on 14 November 2022. LUMI reached a measured High-Performance Linpack (HPL) performance of 309 petaflops. This makes LUMI the fastest supercomputer in Europe.
Participants will learn about its architecture and key parameters, how to access LUMI resources, how to run jobs, and how to use the GPU accelerated partition for AI applications.
The course will be delivered in hybrid mode. You can attend the course at IT4Innovations in Ostrava or online.
