It comprises lectures that are open for everyone\, and hands-on parts where invited groups apply the learnt concepts to their own codes. This year\, aiXcelerate focuses on the topics “performance modelling” and “performance analysis”. It will take place with the support of Intel\, TU Darmstadt and FZ Jülich from December 5th to 7th\, 2022.  Catering (e.g.\, coffee\, soft drinks\, cookies\, fruits) will be provided throughout the whole workshop. It is sponsored by ho-Computer and Intel. \nWe will start aiXcelerate with a series of talks. We will cover “Performance Modelling” in the morning\, and “Performance Analysis” in the afternoon. We will give an introduction to the specific topic\, followed by illustrating the usage of helpful tools and metrics. For more details see the agenda and description below. This first day will take place in a hybrid format\, i.e.\, you can either participate in-person or online. The second and third day of the workshop are pure in-person events (as long as Corona regulations do not prevent such). Here\, we will work together with HPC users on their codes and\, e.g.\, apply tools like Intel Advisor\, Extra-P\, ARM Performance Reports\, Score-P or Cube depending on the users’ needs. \nOrganization\n\nThere is no seminar fee.\nPresentations will be given in English. Slides will be available during or after the event.\nRegistration is open for everyone for the first day.

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 2023. It is focused on CLAIX-2018 the cluster that has been installed end of 2018 and extended in 2019 at the RWTH Aachen University’s IT Center. \nThe event will be in person only (NOT online or hybrid)! \nThe first part provides basic information about HPC resources and targets not only HPC users but also decision makers. It provides information for the participants to take strategic decisions concerning employment of HPC resources and filing applications for computing projects consuming a decent amount of resources. No prior knowledge is required to attend. \nThe second part is aimed at those who (want to) use HPC resources and those who (want to) program HPC resources (developers). It will enable participants  to get a better understanding of the skill set they need. Furthermore\, it will enable admins and supporters to improve their support of HPC users by having a better understanding of HPC activities. You will particularly learn about the most important details on using CLAIX-2018. Those who use to run their computing applications on local machines will learn how to run those applications on the RWTH Compute Cluster provided the necessary software licenses are in place. Generally\, this event is also meant to teach the HPC basics that are needed to take part in our more in-depth event PPCES and to help take decisions on which part of PPCES might be interesting for you. We expect participants to have a basic knowledge of Linux and experience with their applications on any other computing devices. \nAll presentations will be given in English. \nCourse Information & Registration \nPart 1 (Morning Session) 11:00 – ~12:30\n \nTarget: Enable participants to make decisions concerning the employment of HPC resources and to file applications for computing projects \nTarget groups: HPC decision makers\, supporters\, domain scientists\, developers\, users\, admins and students. \nOverview \n\nHigh performance computer architecture basics\nCLAIX 2018\nStorage for HPC\nApplication software availability\nAccess\, project categories and submission\n\n\nPart 2 (Afternoon Session) 14:00 – ~16:45\n \nTarget: provide the basic knowledge to use the new cluster\, give a better understanding of the skill set needed for develop HPC applications\,  enable admins and supporters to better help and understand HPC users \nTarget groups: HPC supporters\, domain scientists\, developers\, users\, admins and students. \nContent overview \n\nShort introduction to parallel programming\nOverview on OpenMP\, MPI and GPU-Programming\nPerformance metrics and measurements\nCompiler optimizations and switches\nBatch job submission\nProcess and thread allocation in batch jobs\nOutlook on follow-up events: PPCES and aiXcelerate\n\nDetailed Agenda and Course Materials \nPart I \n\n\n\n\n11:00 – 11:05\nWelcome\nTim Cramer\n\n\n11:05 – 11:30\nHPC Architecture Basics\nTim Cramer\n\n\n11:30 – 12:00\nStorage Strategy for Users\nPhilipp Martin\n\n\n12:00 – 12:45\nHPC Resources and Computing Projects \nTim Cramer\n\n\n12:45 – 14:00\nBreak\n\n\n\n\n\nPart II \n\n\n\n\n14:00 – 14:20\nCluster Software Environment HPC\nDaniel Schürhoff\n\n\n14:20 – 14:35\nUsing multi-factor authorization for Claix \nTim Cramer\n\n\n14:35 – 15:00\nIntroduction to Slurm\nAlvaro Frank\n\n\n15:00 – 15:10\nBreak\n\n\n\n15:10 – 15:55\nParallel Programming Overview\nTim Cramer\n\n\n15:55 – 16:40\nPerformance Metrics & Measurements\nDaniel Schürhoff\n\n\n16:40 – 16:45\nClosing Session\nTim Cramer\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\nIT  Center RWTH Aachen University\nKopernikusstraße 6 \n\nSeminar Room 3+4\n— in-person only! — \n\nMaterial\nSlide decks (no video recordings!) are published\, s. above. \nRegistration\n\nRegistration here \n  \n  URL:https://blog.rwth-aachen.de/itc-events/en/event/introduction-to-high-performance-computing-2023/ LOCATION:Seminarraum 003/004\, IT Center\, Kopernikusstraße 6\, Aachen CATEGORIES:Einmalig,HPC Events,HPC Introduction ORGANIZER;CN="HPC":MAILTO:hpcevent@itc.rwth-aachen.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20230308T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20230308T104500 DTSTAMP:20260416T034403 CREATED:20230302T120241Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240108T091713Z UID:6309-1678269600-1678272300@blog.rwth-aachen.de SUMMARY:[:en]1st Rocky HPC Migration Course[:] DESCRIPTION:Since CentOS 7\, the Linux Operating System of CLAIX\, is outdated\, and since CentOS Linux 8 reached End Of Life (EOL)\, we have to shift to a new Linux distribution.  We have selected Rocky Linux 8.7\, which is also Red Hat Enterprise compatible. \nGoing hand in hand with this change\, we also prepared the shift to a new software environment based on EasyBuild and Lmod.

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. \n  \nThis is an in-person event and will be held on the RWTH IT-Center premises (see below). \n  \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 7 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. There will also be a small section on PyTorch. The training courses consist of a hands-on exercises to be run directly on  RWTH infrastructure. \nGuest Speaker\nWe are happy to announce two guest speakers: \n\nGeorg Zitzlsberger (IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center at VSB – Technical University of Ostrava) on Machine Learning\nRuud van der Pas (Oracle Linux Engineering) on OpenMP\n\nAgenda\nDay 1+2: OpenMP\n\n\n\nMonday\, March 13\nDay 1: OpenMP Part I\n\n\n\n09:00 – 09:10\nOrganization PPCES 2023\nPhilipp Martin\n\n\n09:10 – 10:30\nOpenMP Basics part 1\nChristian Terboven\n\n\n11:00 – 12:00\nOpenMP Basics part 2 (incl.

These tools are also widely used at other HPC centers. We expect them to improve the user experience and the maintainability from the administrator’s perspective. \nHowever\, for you as a user\, both changes require that you \n(1.) learn how to use the new module system (e.g.\, names of the modules changed\, toolchains\, etc.) and \n(2.) recompile your software and \n(3.) revise and possibly modify your batch scripts accordingly. \nUnderstanding that you need time to prepare for these changes\, we will offer support for the old (CentOS 7) and the new (Rocky Linux 8) environment in parallel for a transition period of approx. 7 weeks\, ending on April 30th\, 2023. During this period\, more and more compute nodes will be migrated to the new environment. Consequently\, the waiting times for jobs scheduled to run in the old environment might increase over time. \nIn this online course we will present an overview on the changes. \nIn order to join the Zoom meeting\, you can use the following link: \nhttps://rwth.zoom.us/j/91453505636\nMeeting-ID: 914 5350 5636\nKenncode: 690220 \nNo registration required. \nFind the slidedeck here URL:https://blog.rwth-aachen.de/itc-events/en/event/5th-rocky-hpc-migration-course/ LOCATION:Online\, Deutschland CATEGORIES:HPC Events,Rocky HPC Migration Course ORGANIZER;CN="HPC":MAILTO:hpcevent@itc.rwth-aachen.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20230330T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20230330T170000 DTSTAMP:20260416T034403 CREATED:20230324T074946Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230328T084228Z UID:6434-1680192000-1680195600@blog.rwth-aachen.de SUMMARY:[:en]Machine Learning Consultancy Hour #1[:] DESCRIPTION:Machine Learning (ML) methods are being used frequently in research these days.
