SUMMARY:[:en]aiXcelerate 2022[:]
DESCRIPTION:Topics: Performance Modelling & Performance Analysis\n\nDescription\nThe annual event aiXcelerate at RWTH Aachen University (NHR4CES@RWTH) is a tuning workshop for HPC users. 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. Registration for the 2nd and 3rd day is by invitation only.\nThe workshop is mainly an in-person event\, but remote participation is possible during the first day. For those choosing remote participation\, detailled participation information (e.g.\, Zoom link) will be sent shortly before the event.\n\n\n  \nPart I: Talks about Performance Modelling & Analysis\nDate: December 5th\, 2022\nVenue: IT Center of RWTH Aachen University\, Kopernikusstr. 6\, 52074 Aachen\, seminar rooms 3 + 4 (or online via Zoom) \nRegistration\nRegistration link: Use the registration options on the corresponding IT Center’s event page. \nDuring the registration\, please specify whether you want to participate in-person or online. We need this information to organize sufficient seating and catering\, and send the participation information to the corresponding participants. Please also withdraw your registration in the registration system (or let us know) if you cannot attend anymore. Thanks! \nRegistration closing date: November 29th\, 2022 \nSkills\nCourse level: beginner to intermediate \nTarget audience: \n\nHPC users\nHPC developers\n\nPrerequisites: \n\nBasic knowledge of HPC hardware architectures\nBasic knowledge of parallelism\n\nGained skills: \n\nKnowledge of roofline models (performance models)\nUsage of the Intel Advisor tool to automatically see roofline models and performance estimates for kernels within a code\nUsage of the Extra-P tool to predict the performance for larger-scale runs (based on small-scale runs)\nKnowledge of major techniques used for performance analysis\nKnowledge of performance metrics (based on the POP Centre of Excellence\, https://pop-coe.eu/) that help in finding potential performance problems in a code\nUsage of these POP performance metrics with tools like Score-P or Cube\nUsage of basic performance analysis methods with the tool ARM Performance Reports or the monitoring system on CLAIX\n\nAgenda\nMonday\, December 5th\, 2022\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTime\n\n\nTopic\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n09:00 – 09:30\nRegistration & Coffee\n\n\n\n09:30 – 09:45\nWelcome & Update on New HPC Cluster @ RWTH\nChristian Terboven (RWTH Aachen)\n\n\n09:45 – 10:30\nPerformance Modelling 101\nSimon Schwitanski (RWTH Aachen)\n\n\n10:30 – 11:00\nCoffee Break\n\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30\nRoofline Automation with Intel Advisor\nHeinrich Bockhorst (Intel)\n\n\n11:30 – 12:15\nExtra-P – Performance Modelling at Scale\nMarcus Ritter (TU Darmstadt)\n\n\n12:15 – 13:45\nLunch Break (on your own)\n\n\n\n13:45 – 14:45\nPerformance Analysis 101\nMarc-André Hermanns (RWTH Aachen)\n\n\n14:45 – 15:00\nIntroduction to ARM Performance Reports\nMarc-André Hermanns (RWTH Aachen)\n\n\n15:00 – 15:15\nBasic Analysis with Monitoring on CLAIX (Live Demo)\nSeverin Schüller (RWTH Aachen)\n\n\n15:15 – 15:45\nCoffee Break\n\n\n\n15:45 – 16:30\nUnderstanding Application Performance with the POP Metrics\nFabian Orland (RWTH Aachen)\n\n\n16:30 – 17:15\nComputing the POP Metrics with Score-P and Cube\nMichael Knobloch (FZ Jülich)\n\n\n17:15 – 17:30\nWrap-Up\nChristian Terboven (RWTH Aachen)\n\n\n\n\nCourse Material\nThe course material can directly be found in the agenda above. \n  \nPart II: Performance Modelling & Analysis in Action – Bring Your Own (BYO) Code\nDate: December 6th + 7th\, 2022\nVenue: IT Center of RWTH Aachen University\, Kopernikusstr. 6\, 52074 Aachen\, seminar rooms 3 + 4 \nRegistration\nThe registration link will be send directly to invited persons and groups. Please specify the name of the targeted application (see “Skills” below) in the free-form field during the registration. Please also withdraw your registration in the registration system (or let us know) if you cannot attend anymore. Thanks! \nAfter registration\, we might contact you to get some more information on your application (e.g.\, tool chain\, size of runs)\, so that our HPC experts can prepare themselves and appropriate hardware resources for the workshop. \nRegistration closing date: November 29th\, 2022 \nSupport\nThe HPC team of the IT Center (NHR4CES@RWTH) will work together with HPC developers. The HPC team will be kindly supported by further HPC experts: \n\nMarcus Ritter\, TU Darmstadt (NHR4CES@TUDA)\nGustavo Morais\, TU Darmstadt (NHR4CES@TUDA)\nMichael Knobloch\, FZ Jülich\nHeinrich Bockhorst\, Intel\n\nSkills\nCourse level: intermediate \nTarget audience: HPC developers. \n\nThis part focuses on HPC developers that use RWTH’s CLAIX HPC cluster for executing their jobs.\nHPC developers working on Darmstadt’s HPC cluster are also welcome.\n\nPrerequisites: \n\nAt least one developer of the targeted application should register. You can also attend with several people using the same application.\nTargeted application is usually a home-grown code (so that HPC experts and developers can work together on settings\, compiler options\, code parts and more).\nWorkshop focuses on CPU-based applications (tools and experts are specialized on CPU-based systems). If you need help with a GPU-based application\, please write an e-mail to hpcevent@itc.rwth-aachen.de. Then\, we can discuss whether we can help you or not.\nTargeted application should be running on CLAIX.\nBring an appropriate data set for the targeted application: A tuning input set should trigger production parts of the targeted application\, but restricts runtime to a “few” minutes.\nIntermediate knowledge of parallel programming/ parallelism\n\nAgenda\nThis is a sketch of the agenda. We will adapt the agenda with respect to the users’ needs! \nCatering is provided throughout both days. \nTuesday\, December 6th\, 2022\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTime\n\n\nTopic\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n09:00 – 09:15\nWeclome & Motivation\ntbn\n\n\n09:15 – 12:30\nCode Activities\nHPC team + supporters + HPC developers\n\n\n12:30 – 14:00\nLunch Break (on your own)\n\n\n\n14:00 – 17:30\nCode Activities\nHPC team + supporters + HPC developers\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, December 7th\, 2022\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTime\n\n\nTopic\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n09:00 – 12:30\nCode Activities\nHPC team + supporters + HPC developers\n\n\n12:30 – 14:00\nLunch Break (on your own)\n\n\n\n14:00 – 17:00\nCode Activities\nHPC team + supporters + HPC developers\n\n\n17:00 – 17:30\nSummary of Results + Wrap-Up\nHPC developers\n\n\n\n  \nCatering is sponsored by
