[ONLINE] Profiling AI Software Bootcamp

Annotation

The Profiling AI Software Bootcamp covers the process and tools needed to profile AI and machine learning applications to fully utilize high-performance systems. Attendees will learn to profile applications using NVIDIA Nsight™ Systems, a system-wide performance analysis tool; analyze and identify optimization opportunities; and improve performance of applications to scale efficiently across systems of any quantity or size of CPUs and GPUs. Additionally, this bootcamp will walk through the system topology to learn the dynamics of multi-GPU and multi-node connections and architecture.

People who complete the bootcamp are encouraged to apply to participate in the upcoming AI Hackathon.

This bootcamp, which will be hosted virtually for one day on June 10, is co-organized by the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC), IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center (IT4I), High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), University of Donja Gorica (UDG), Academic Computer Centre Cyfronet AGH (Cyfronet), Linköping University (LiU), Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), HPC Vega at IZUM (IZUM), OpenACC organization, and NVIDIA for EuroCC Austria, EuroCC Czechia, EuroCC@GCS, EuroCC Montenegro, EuroCC Poland, EuroCC Sweden, and EuroCC Slovenia, all National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing.

Please ensure you meet all prerequisites / eligibility before you apply.
