SUMMARY:[:en]aiXcelerate 2021[:]
DESCRIPTION:Topics: I/O & ML\n\nDescription\nThe annual workshop aiXcelerate at RWTH Aachen University (RWTH@NHR4CES) is a tuning workshop for HPC users. It comprises lectures that are open for everyone\, and hands-on parts where registered groups apply the learnt concepts to their own codes. This year\, aiXcelerate covers performance tuning for I/O-intensive workloads and machine-learning applications. It will take place online from December 6th to 9th\, 2021. \nThe I/O part of the workshop examines the impact of unoptimized I/O on the overall application performance. The content covers I/O strategies\, best practices\, analysis tools\, and hardware options from RWTH that can improve I/O performance. The ML part of the workshop addresses the increasing demand of computations tailored for GPUs. The content specifically focuses on how to detect whether the resources are efficiently utilized and in which situations it might suffice running workloads on the CPU partition to reduce the overall turnaround time. \nBring Your Own (BYO) Code – Please apply!\nSince aiXcelerate is a tuning working\, its purpose is to investigate your own code together with experts from the IT Center. If you are interested in a code analysis with respect to I/O or machine learning\, please apply (informally) during the respective registration process: Let us know that you want to BYO code (and why) and we will contact you later with all details. We reserve the right to decline certain applications for BYO code. \nPrerequiste for BYO: This offer targets at current and prospective users of the RWTH infrastructure. To this end\, you should already have access to RWTH’s compute cluster CLAIX. Your code should run on CLAIX. \nOrganization\n\nThere is no seminar fee.\nPresentations will be given in English. Slides will be available during or after the event.\nPlease register separately for each part (I/O and ML) that you would like to attend.\nThis is an online event. Detailled participation information (e.g.\, Zoom link) will be sent to registered participants shortly before the event.\n\n\n  \nPart I: I/O\nRegistration\nRegistration link for lectures and/or BYO code (December 6th – 7th\, 2021): Registration is closed \nPlease select the corresponding check box if you are intersted in bringing your own code. If applicable\, also tell us why you want to BYO (in the “comments” section). \nRegistration closing date: extended until Friday\, November 26th\, 2021 \nSkills\nCourse level: beginner to intermediate \nTarget audience \n\nHPC users\nHPC developers\n\nPrerequisites \n\nBasic knowledge of Shell programming\nBasic knowledge of working in a Linux environment\n\nGained skills \n\nChoose the right filesystem for my application runs\nUnderstand the impact of I/O on my application’s runtime\nExecute basic I/O performance measurements with Darshan & Score-P/Vampir\nBasic knowledge of parallel I/O strategies and libraries available in HPC\n\nAgenda\nMonday\, December 6th\, 2021: I/O – Day 1\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nTime\n\n\n\n\nTopic\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n09:00 – 10:00\nDoes I/O matter to me?\nPhilipp Martin (RWTH)\n\n\n10:00 – 10:15\nBreak\n\n\n\n10:15 – 11:15\nOverview of I/O Technologies on CLAIX\nPhilipp Martin (RWTH)\n\n\n11:15 – 11:30\nBreak\n\n\n\n11:30 – 12:30\nUsing Darshan for I/O Analysis\nRadita Liem (RWTH)\n\n\n12:30 – 14:00\nLunch Break\n\n\n\n14:00 – 15:00\nUsing Score-P & Vampir for I/O Analysis\nMarc-André Hermanns (RWTH)\n\n\n15:00 – 15:15\nBreak\n\n\n\n15:15 – 16:45\nBYO: Preparation of benchmarks and job submissions for user codes\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, December 7th\, 2021: I/O – Day 2\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nTime\n\n\n\n\nTopic\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n09:00 – 10:00\nI/O Libraries: Overview and MPI-IO\nMarc-André Hermanns (RWTH)\n\n\n10:00 – 10:15\nBreak\n\n\n\n10:15 – 11:00\nI/O Libraries: HDF5\nSebastian Lührs (Forschungszentrum Jülich)\n\n\n11:00 – 11:15\nBreak\n\n\n\n11:15 – 12:00\nI/O Patterns Best Practice\nRadita Liem (RWTH)\n\n\n12:00 – 13:30\nLunch Break\n\n\n\n13:30 – 15:00\nBYO: Review benchmark results\n\n\n\n15:00 – 15:15\nBreak\n\n\n\n15:15 – 16:00\nBYO: Lightning talks about take-aways\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Material\n\n2021-aiXcelerate-Organization\n2021-aiXcelerate-IO-01-Does-IO-Matter-To-Me\n2021-aiXcelerate-IO-02-Overview-of-IO-Technologies-on-CLAIX\n2021-aiXcelerate-IO-03-Darshan-Tutorial\n2021-aiXcelerate-IO-04-Score-P-Cube-Vampir\n2021-aiXcelerate-IO-05-IO-Schemes\n2021-aiXcelerate-IO-06-MPI-IO-presentation\n2021-aiXcelerate-IO-07-HDF5\n2021-aiXcelerate-IO-07-HDF5-example\n2021-aiXcelerate-IO-08-IO-Best-Practices\n\n  \nPart II: Machine Learning (ML)\nRegistration\nRegistration link for lectures and/or BYO code (December 8th – 9th\, 2021): Registration is closed \nPlease select the corresponding check box if you are intersted in bringing your own code.

SUMMARY:PPCES 2021
DESCRIPTION:About PPCES\nThis one week online event will continue the tradition of previous annual week-long events that take place in Aachen every spring since 2001. We will cover the basics of parallel programming using OpenMP and MPI in Fortran and C/C++ and a first step towards performance tuning as well as current topics in AI/machine learning. Hands-on exercises for each topic will be included. \nThe contents of the courses are generally applicable but will be specialized towards CLAIX the compute cluster which is the current system installed at the RWTH’s IT Center. It might be helpful to read through the information which was provided during the HPC introduction on March 12 this year. This is especially true if you want to actively use CLAIX after this event. \nOpenMP is a widely used approach for programming shared memory architectures\, supported by most compilers nowadays. We will cover the basics of the programming paradigm as well as some advanced topics such as programming NUMA machines. The nodes of the RWTH Compute Cluster contain an increasing number of cores and thus we consider shared memory programming a vital alternative for applications that cannot be easily parallelized with MPI. We also expect a growing number of application codes to combine MPI and OpenMP for clusters of nodes with a growing number of cores. \nThe Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the de-facto standard for programming large HPC systems. We will introduce the basic concepts and give an overview of some advanced features. Also covered is hybrid parallelization\, i.e.\, the combination of MPI and shared memory programming\, which is gaining popularity as the number of cores per cluster node grows. \nMachine Learning: We provide an overview to end-to-end deep learning with the latest version of Tensorflow/Keras. It covers the basic concepts to define models with Keras  and data pipelines with Tensorflow’s “Dataset”\, and to visualize the results with Tensorboard while training. If training on one node or GPU is not enough\,  we show how to scale up/out distributed training onto multiple compute nodes  and GPUs with Horovod. Furthermore\, we provide an introduction to scikit-learn\, with an overview of  different machine learning algorithms it provides and how to utilize it on GPUs  with H2O4GPU. The training courses consist of a hands-on exercises to be run directly on  RWTH infrastructure. \nGuest Speakers\nWe are very happy to present two guest speakers: \n\nRuud van der Pas (Oracle) on OpenMP\nGeorg Zitzlsberger (IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center at VSB – Technical University of Ostrava) on Machine Learning\n\nAgenda\nDay 1+2: OpenMP \nMonday\, March 22 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday\, March 22 \n\n\n\nDay 1: OpenMP Part I \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09:00 – 10:30\nOpenMP Basics part 1 \nChristian Terboven\n\n\n11:00 – 12:00\n OpenMP Basics part 2 (incl.

SUMMARY:Introduction to High-Performance Computing 2021
DESCRIPTION:This introduction provides basic information about high-performance computing (HPC)  at the RWTH Aachen University’s IT Center for different target groups and needs. It is the basis for the follow-up event PPCES 2021.

SUMMARY:PPCES 2020
DESCRIPTION:Online HPC Seminar and Workshop\n\nSince we had to cancel the PPCES workshop planned for March (March\, 16 – 20\,  2020) this year at short notice\,we are offering this online workshop on December 2nd and 3rd\, 2020 \nPlease find information about the preceeding Introduction to HPC on March 03\, 2020 >>> \n\nAbout PPCES\n\nThis 2-days online event will continue the tradition of previous annual week-long events that take place in Aachen every spring since 2001. This time we will only cover the basics of parallel programming using OpenMP and MPI in Fortran and C/C++ and a frist step towards performance tuning. Hands-on exercises for each topic will be included. \nThe contents of the courses are generally applicable but will be specialized towards CLAIX the compute cluster which is the current system installed at the RWTH’s IT Center. It might be helpful to read through the information which was provided during the HPC introduction on March 3 this year. This is especially true if you want to actively use CLAIX after this event. \nOpenMP  is a widely used approach for programming shared memory architectures\, supported by most compilers nowadays. We will cover the basics of the programming paradigm as well as some advanced topics such as programming NUMA machines. The nodes of the RWTH Compute Cluster contain an increasing number of cores and thus we consider shared memory programming a vital alternative for applications that cannot be easily parallelized with MPI. We also expect a growing number of application codes to combine MPI and OpenMP for clusters of nodes with a growing number of cores. \nThe Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the de-facto standard for programming large HPC systems. We will introduce the basic concepts and give an overview of some advanced features. Also covered is hybrid parallelization\, i.e.\, the combination of MPI and shared memory programming\, which is gaining popularity as the number of cores per cluster node grows. \nPrerequisites\nAttendees should be comfortable with C/C++ or Fortran programming in a Linux environment and interested in learning more about the technical details of application tuning and parallelization. \nAll presentations will be given in English. \nThis event will be an online presentation. \nAgenda\n\nDay 1: OpenMP (Wednesday\, December 2)\n\n\n\n\n\nStart\nEnd\nTopic\n\n\n09:30\n09:50\nWelcome + OpenMP Overview\n\n\n09:50\n10:15\nOpenMP Worksharing\n\n\n10:15\n10:35\nOpenMP Scoping\n\n\n10:35\n10:45\nExercise Setup\n\n\n10:45\n11:00\nBreak\n\n\n11:00\n11:30\nExercises\n\n\n11:30\n12:00\nOpenMP & NUMA\n\n\n12:00\n14:00\nBreak\n\n\n14:00\n14:30\nOpenMP Tasking: Basics\n\n\n14:30\n15:00\nOpenMP Tasking: Scoping & Synchronization\n\n\n15:00\n15:15\nExercises\n\n\n15:15\n15:30\nBreak\n\n\n15:30\n16:00\nExercises\n\n\n16:00\n16:30\nSolutions to Exercises + Q & A\n\n\n\n\nDay 2: MPI (Thursday\, December 3)\n\n\n\n\nStart\nEnd\nTopic\n\n\n09:30\n09:40\nWelcome & Overview (10 min)\n\n\n09:40\n10:00\nMPI Basics (20 min)\n\n\n10:00\n10:35\nBlocking Point-to-point communication (30 min)\n\n\n10:35\n11:45\nExercise Setup\n\n\n10:45\n11:00\nCoffee Break\n\n\n11:00\n11:30\nExercises\n\n\n11:30\n12:00\nNon-blocking (point-to-point) communication (30 min)\n\n\n12:00\n14:00\nLunch break\n\n\n14:00\n14:30\nCollective Communication (30 min)\n\n\n14:30\n15:00\nExercises (30 min)\n\n\n15:00\n15:15\nCoffee break\n\n\n15:15\n15:45\nARM Performance Reports (30 min)\n\n\n15:45\n16:00\nExercises (Perf Reports) (15 min)\n\n\n16:00\n16:30\nSolutions to Exercises + Q & A (30 min)\n\n\n16:30\n16:45\nWrap-Up\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nPlease register here until November 25\, 2020  >>>  [REGISTRATION CLOSED]\nRegistered participants will receive further information by email.\n \nCourse Material\nDay 1: OpenMP\n\nOrganization_PPCESonline.pdf \n01_OpenMP_Introduction-Overview.pdf \n02_OpenMP_Introduction-Worksharing.pdf \n03_OpenMP_Introduction-Scoping.pdf \nOpenMP_Exercises_2020_online.pdf \n04_OpenMP_NUMA.pdf \n05_OpenMP_Introduction-Tasking.pdf \n06_OpenMP_TaskingAndScoping.pdf \n07_OpenMP_TaskingAndSynchronization.pdf \nDay 2: MPI\n01_MPI-Overview.pdf \n02_MPI_Concepts.pdf \n03_MPI_Blocking_Point-to-Point_Communication.pdf \nExercises_MPI_2020_online.pdf \n04_MPI_Non-blocking-Point-to-Point_Communication.pdf \n05_MPI_Blocking_Collective_Communication.pdf \n06_MPI_ARM_PerfReports.pdf \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQ&A Seesion\nPPCES-2020_Q&A.pdf \nFurther Information\nThe OpenMP part is also available as online tutorial (including videos): https://hpc-wiki.info/hpc/OpenMP_in_Small_Bites \nContact\nTim Cramer / Dieter an Mey\nTel.: +49 (241) 80-24924 / 80-24377\nE-mail:  hpcevent@itc.rwth-aachen.de

You may find a list of hotels in Aachen on the web pages of Aachen Tourist Service.  We recommend that you try to book a room at the Novotel Aachen City\, Mercure am Graben or Aachen Best Western Regence hotels. These are nice hotels with reasonable prices within walking distance (20-30 minutes\, see city map) from the IT Center through the old city of Aachen. An alternative is the IBIS Aachen Marschiertor hotel\, located close to the main station\, which is convenient if you are traveling by train and also prefer to commute to the IT Center by train (4 trains per hour\, 2 stops). Please\, download a sketch of the city (pdf\, 415 KB) with some points of interest marked. You may find a description of how to reach us by plane\, train or car here. Bus lines 33 and 73 connect the city (central bus station) and the Mies-van-der-Rohe-Straße bus stop 6 times per hour. Most trains between Aachen and Düsseldorf stop at station Aachen West\, which is 10 minutes walk away from the IT Center. From the bus stop and the train station just walk up Seffenter Weg. The first building on the left side at the junction with Kopernikusstraße is the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. The event will take place in the extension building located at Kopernikusstraße 6. The weather in Aachen is usually unpredictable. It is always a good idea to carry an umbrella. If you’ll bring one\, it might be sunny. \n\n\n\nContact\nE-mail: hpcevent@itc.rwth-aachen.de

SUMMARY:aiXcelerate 2019
DESCRIPTION:in cooperation with \n      and         \nsponsored by \n                        \n  \nHPC Tuning Workshop\nMon\, Dec 2  – Thu Dec 5\, 2019\nIT Center\nRWTH Aachen University\nKopernikusstraße 6\n                              \n\n\n\n\nContent\nThis event focuses on CLAIX-2018\, the new Supercomputer that has been set up in late 2018. In 2019\, it was further extended to become the main HPC platform of RWTH Aachen University’s IT Center. It is currently the fastest computer among German universities according to the recent most TOP 500 list. (see https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2019/06/) \nCLAIX-2018\nCLAIX-2018 is the main building block of CLAIX—the HPC Cluster of RWTH Aachen University—along with the previously installed CLAIX-2016.

SUMMARY:PPCES 2019
DESCRIPTION:Parallel Programming in Computational Engineering and Science 2019\n\n\n\n\n \nkindly sponsored by\n\n\n \nHPC Seminar and Workshop\nMarch\, 11 – 15\,  2019\nIT  Center RWTH Aachen University\nKopernikusstraße 6\nSeminar Room 3 + 4\n\n\n                    \n \n \n \n \n \n \nPlease find information about the preceeding\n\n Introduction to HPC on Feb 25\, 2019 >>>\n \n  Please provide your feedback to PPCES 2019 here >>>\n(Click on “Respond to this Survey/Auf die Umfrage antworten”)\n\n\n \n \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout PPCES\nThis event continues the tradition of previous annual week-long events that take place in Aachen every spring since 2001. \nThroughout the week we will cover parallel programming using OpenMP and MPI in Fortran and C/C++ and performance tuning. Furthermore\, we will introduce the participants to GPGPU programming with OpenACC. Hands-on exercises for each topic will be provided\, which should not discourage you from working on your own code. \nThe contents of the courses are generally applicable but will be specialized towards CLAIX the compute cluster which recently has been installed at the RWTH’s IT Center.\nCLAIX is replacing the outdated BULL Cluster which has been installed in 2011 and will be decommissioned until April 2019 at latest. \nThe topics will be presented in a modular way\, so that you could pick specific ones and register for the particular days only in order to let you invest your time as efficiently as possible. Each major topic is split into two parts: part I with basic information and part II with more advanced information. Part II always relies on contents of Part I.\nPlease register separately for each part under the individual parts below! \nOpenMP  is a widely used approach for programming shared memory architectures\, supported by most compilers nowadays. We will cover the basics of the programming paradigm as well as some advanced topics such as programming NUMA machines. We will also cover a selection of performance and verification tools for OpenMP. The nodes of the RWTH Compute Cluster contain an increasing number of cores and thus we consider shared memory programming a vital alternative for applications that cannot be easily parallelized with MPI. We also expect a growing number of application codes to combine MPI and OpenMP for clusters of nodes with a growing number of cores. \nThe Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the de-facto standard for programming large HPC systems. We will introduce the basic concepts and give an overview of some advanced features. Also covered is hybrid parallelization\, i.e. the combination of MPI and shared memory programming\, which is gaining popularity as the number of cores per cluster node grows. Furthermore\, we will introduce a selection of performance and correctness-checking tools. \nOpenACC  is a directive-based programming model for accelerators\, which enables delegating the responsibility for low-level (e.g. CUDA or OpenCL) programming tasks to the compiler. Using the OpenACC industry standard\, the programmer can offload compute-intensive loops to an attached accelerator with little effort. In this course\, we will focus on using OpenACC on NVIDIA GPUs. \nPrerequisites\nAttendees should be comfortable with C/C++ or Fortran programming in a Linux environment and interested in learning more about the technical details of application tuning and parallelization.\nBasic information about parallel computing architectures and about using the modules environment and the Slurm batch scheduler will be  presented in the Introduction to HPC on Feb 25\, 2019. Please check out the slides after this introduction if you need a quick start.\nThe presentations will be given in English. \nAgenda\n\nPlease find agenda   here >>> \n Registration\nThe first two days will focus on performance programming of single compute nodes mainly using OpenMP. All courses will be accompanied by practical exercises. \n\nShared Memory Programming – Part I: Basic OpenMP Programming –  Monday\, March 11\, 9:00 – 17:30This course provides an introduction into parallel programming with OpenMP. It covers in detail the concepts of parallel region\, worksharing\, tasking\, and synchronization. It also emphasizes how to write correct parallel programs. The lectures are support by many examples and hands-on exercises.\nPrerequisites: nothing specific \n\nPlease register here >>>\n\n\nShared Memory Programming – Part II : Advanced OpenMP Topics – Tuesday\, March 12\, 9:00 – 17:30This course put the focus on improving performance of OpenMP parallel programs. It covers the interaction of OpenMP programs with the hardware and possible issues\, like false sharing and remote memory accesses on NUMA architectures and vectorization for SIMD microarchitectures. It also presents recipies and case studies to improve the scalability and performance of OpenMP programs.Prerequisites (if not attending Basic OpenMP Programming): experiences with parallel programming in OpenMP\, overview about the most commonly used OpenMP constructs and clauses\n\nPlease register here >>>\n\n\n\nDays 3 and 4 will focus on performance programming of multiple compute nodes using Message Passing with MPI\n \n\nMessage Passing – Part I: Basic MPI Programming – Wednesday\, March 13\, 9:00 – 17:30\nIt only takes few concepts of MPI to get the first parallel programs up and running: communicators and point-to-point versus collective communication. Pratical exercises are important to get started with MPI  and the first steps in using performance analysis tools help to get a better understanding of the work distribution of MPI programs in execution.\nFurthermore you will learn how to debug MPI programs and how to submit MPI jobs on CLAIX using the Slurm batch system. \n\nPlease register here >>>\n\n\nMessage Passing – Part II: Further MPI Concepts – Thursday\, March 14\, 9:00 – 17:30\nActually the MPI interface provides a large number of calls\, many of them you will probalby never need. But some of the concepts may be important for your application. Therefore it is important to get a rough overview of what is available and  dive into some of the details at an intermediate knowledge level. The topology of MPI applications and there mapping onto a given cluster may be important for performance reasons. So you need to know how to distribute and place your MPI processes across the nodes and sockets and  cores of the available compute nodes and how to specify this with respect to the Slurm batch system. In order to run your large MPI applications you need to know how to organise your parallel IO. With a growing number of cores per compute node\, hybrid parallelization – a combination of MPI and OpenMP – is gaining importance. Things are not getting easier when combining both parallelization approaches: MPI and OpenMP (or MPI and multi-threading in general). How to deal with it when running (submitting using Slurm)\,  debugging and analysing your parallel application? \n\nPlease register here >>> \n\n\n\nThe last day will focus on accelerator programming\, particularly on programming NVIDIA GPGPUs.\n \n\nGPGPU Programming – Part I: Basic GPGPU Programming Principles with OpenACC – Friday\, March 15\, 9:00 – 12:30\nThe number of GPU-based systems is increasing in the HPC community. However\, GPGPU-based hardware architectures differ in design and programming to traditional CPU-based systems. Thus\, understanding the basic GPGPU principles is essential to get good performance on such hardware architectures. In this session\, we give an overview on the GPU architecture and its differences to CPUs. We introduce the basic concepts for leveraging GPUs\, i.e.\, offloading\, creating parallelism and memory management.\nOpenACC is a directive-based programming model that can be used to parallelize scientific applications for GPUs. Step by step\, we will introduce how to apply the basic GPU concepts with OpenACC to GPUs. This includes offloading\, managed memory and data transfers. We will run through prepared examples and evaluate performance with the help of NVIDIA’s Visual Profiler.\nHands-on sessions are done on RWTH’s CLAIX Cluster with NVIDIA Pascal GPUs using PGI‘s OpenACC implementation.\n \n\n Please register here >>>\n\n \nGPGPU Programming – Part II:  Advanced Concepts and Tuning of GPGPUs with OpenACC – Friday\, March 15\, 14:00 – 17:30\nUnderstanding the mode of operations of GPUs will enable developers to achieve good performance for their GPU programs. Therefore\, this session will introduce advanced concepts and tuning methods to allow GPU performance analysis and improvement. This includes the concepts of latency hiding and occupancy with hints on appropriate launch configurations and loop schedules. Furthermore\, we will cover the method of asynchronous operations that also enables true heterogeneous computing on CPU and GPU. To showcase and practice these concepts\, we will use the directive-based programming model OpenACC. Hands-on sessions are done on RWTH’s CLAIX Cluster with NVIDIA Pascal GPUs using PGI‘s OpenACC implementation.\nPrerequisites (if not attending GPGPU Programming Part I): basic knowledge on GPU architectures (cores\, streaming multiprocessors\, global memory\, shared memory)\, basic knowledge on GPU programming concepts (need for offloading\, threads – blocks – grids)\, knowledge on basic OpenACC directives (acc kernels\, acc parallel\, acc loop\, acc data)\nRecommended (if not attending GPGPU Programming Part I): basic knowledge on using NVIDIA’s Visual Profiling\, basic knowledge on how to submit batch jobs for CLAIX\n \n\nPlease register here >>>\n\n\n\n      Course Materials\n\nOpenMP + Serial Performance\n\n01_IntroductionToOpenMP.pdf\nExercises_OMP_2019.pdf\nserial_tuning_basics.pdf\n02_OpenMPTaskingInDepth.pdf\nppces.2019.numa.ruud slides.pdf\n03_OpenMPNumaSimd.pdf\n04_OpenMPSummary.pdf\n\n\n\n\nMPI Basic:\n\n01_PPCES2019_MPI_Basic.pdf\nPPCES2019_MPI_Lab.pdf\nPPCES2019_MPI_Lab.tar.bz2\nTotalView.pdf\nPerformance Engineering.pdf\n\n\n \nMPI Advanced:\n\n02_PPCES2019_MPI_Advanced.pdf\n03_PPCES2019_Parallel_IO.pdf\nScore-P_basic.pdf\nPPCES_Correctness_Tools.pdf\n\n \nGPGPU Programming\n\nPPCES2019_OpenACC-Basics.pdf\nPPCES2019_OpenACC-Advanced.pdf\nPPCES2019_OpenACC_ProgrammingLab.pdf\nPPCES2019_OpenACC-Lab.tar.gz\n\n\n\n  \nFurther course Materials will be published here as they become available. \nTravel Information \nPlease make your own hotel reservation.
