This 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\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n

CLAIX-2018<\/h5>\n

CLAIX-2018 is the main building block of CLAIX\u2014the HPC Cluster of RWTH Aachen University\u2014along with the previously installed CLAIX-2016. It consists of about 1300 nodes with two 24-core Intel Skylake processors and 192 GB of main memory, 54 of which are additionally equipped with two NVIDIA Volta V100 GPUs. As with CLAIX-2016, all nodes are connected via a fast Intel OmniPath network. An additional Lustre file system provides 10 PB of fast storage.
\nCLAIX-2018 is available to students and researchers of RWTH Aachen University. In addition, researchers from all over Germany can apply for resources on CLAIX-2018. Furthermore, researchers from FZ J\u00fclich and RWTH with high demand for compute power can apply for resources on CLAIX-2018 (as well as on CLAIX-2016) as part of the JARA-HPC partition.<\/p>\n

Focusing on CLAIX-2018, the aiXcelerate 2019 workshop consists of two parts:<\/strong>
\nPart I on\u00a0 Monday \u2013 Tuesday: Introduction to Performance Engineering and Analysis. Presentations and hands-on exercises on prepared examples are open to a broader auditorium.
\nPart II on Wednesday \u2013 Thursday: Hands-on tuning workshop on participants\u2019 codes\u00a0only for a limited number of selected computing projects.
\nWe are happy to announce Michael Klemm<\/u> and Mikko Byckling<\/u> from Intel as well as Thomas Gruber<\/u> from RRZE Erlangen as external HPC performance experts, who will support the IT Center’s HPC Team as instructors and during tuning efforts.
\nPresentations will be given in English.<\/p>\n
