CLAIX-2025 Porting and Tuning Workshop<\/h1>\n

as part of the aiXcelerate workshop series<\/p>\n

October 1 – 2, 2026<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Description<\/h2>\n

The CLAIX-2025 Porting and Tuning Workshop at RWTH Aachen University (NHR4CES@RWTH) is part of our aiXcelerate<\/a> workshop series. It targets at users of the HPC cluster CLAIX. With CLAIX-2025, the CPU architecture changes from Intel to AMD. With that, it might be beneficial or recommended ro re-compile HPC user codes and adapt flags or tuning strategies to the new software toolchain and hardware architecture. This workshop comprises lectures that are open to everyone, and hands-on parts where HPC users can port and tune their own (!) codes together with HPC experts from RWTH Aachen University and AMD. Catering is sponsored by NEC.<\/p>\n

You can select different setups during the registration.<\/center><\/p>\n

Presentations<\/h3>\n

Presentations (see agenda below) give an introduction to CLAIX-2025 and focus on the changes (hardware and software) that come with the new HPC cluster. Furthermore, presentations cover details on the AMD CPU that is installed in CLAIX-2025 and how to tune for this CPU. Please note that the NVIDIA H100 GPUs of CLAIX-2025 are not<\/u> a focus since they are similar to the CLAIX-2023 H100 GPUs.
\nTalks are offered in a hybrid<\/strong> form: The presenters do their talks in-person<\/strong> on the premises of the IT Center at RWTH Aachen University. Thus, participants are very welcome to attend the presentations in-person, too. Small incentive \ud83d\ude09 coffee and small snacks will be provided. Additionally, presentations will be streamed live in online<\/strong> form. Hence, participants can also attend remotely. Please note that recordings of our guest speaker from AMD are not possible. For the other sessions, we do our best to make recordings (but no guarantee). Participants need to choose their setup (on-premise or online) during the registration process.<\/p>\n

Porting & Tuning Activities („hands-on“ – BYO Code)<\/h3>\n

The sessions on „Porting and Tuning Activities“ (see agenda below) follow the principle of bring-your-own (BYO) code<\/strong>. They target at CLAIX users with their own HPC codes. Participants work closely together with and get support by our HPC experts to port and tune their codes for CLAIX-2025 with AMD processors. Participants can choose on their own whether they would like to focus on porting, tuning or both.
\nSince participants will work together with our experts, this part can only be attended in-person <\/strong>and on-premise<\/strong>. Please register for this part of the workshop, too. (Since seats are limited, we reserve the right to only accept certain projects\/ users for this workshop part.)<\/p>\n
