Annotation
Scaling applications to multiple GPUs across multiple nodes requires one to be adept at not just the programming models and optimization techniques, but also at performing root-cause analysis using in-depth profiling to identify and minimize bottlenecks. In this Bootcamp, participants will learn to improve the performance of an application step-by-step, taking cues from profilers along with the ways.
This bootcamp, which will be hosted virtually for one and a half days on June 17-18, is co-organized by Academic Computer Centre Cyfronet AGH (Cyfronet), High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center (IT4I), HPC Vega at IZUM (IZUM), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Linköping University (LiU), Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), University of Donja Gorica (UDG), Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC), OpenACC organization, and NVIDIA for EuroCC Austria, EuroCC Czechia, EuroCC@GCS, EuroCC Montenegro, EuroCC Poland, EuroCC Slovenia and EuroCC Sweden, all National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing.
Please ensure you meet all prerequisites/eligibility before you apply.
