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. 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 in addition to CLAIX-2016\, which has been installed late 2016. \nThe event will be online. \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 concerningemployment 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 licencies 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 2016 + 2018\nStorage for HPC\nApplication software availability\nAccess\, project categories and submission\n\n\nPart 2 (Afternoon Session) 14:00 – ~16:30\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 – 11:30\nHPC_Architecture_Basics\nTim Cramer\n\n\n11:30 – 12:00\nStorage_Strategy_for_Users\nPhilipp Martin\n\n\n12:00 – 12:30\nHPC Resources and Computing Projects\nDieter an Mey\n\n\n12:30 – 14:00\nBreak\n\n\n\n\n\nPart II \n\n\n\n\n14:00 – 14:45\nParallel_Programming_Overview\nTim Cramer\n\n\n14:45 – 15:30\nPerformance Metrics & Measurements\nDaniel Schürhoff\n\n\n15:30 – 15:40\nBreak\n\n\n\n15:40 – 16:00\nCluster Software Environment HPC\nDaniel Schürhoff\n\n\n16:00 – 16:25\nIntroduction to Slurm\nMarcus Wagner\n\n\n16:25 – 16:30\nClosing Session\nTim Cramer\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\nThe detailled participation information including the Zoom link was sent to registered participants.

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.
