Well, who noticed?<\/p>\n<p>The VI-HPS Porting &amp; Tuning Workshop 2024 took place at the end of February! This workshop compensated for the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc-events\/en\/aixcelerate\/\">aiXcelerate<\/a> 2023, which did not take place.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re reporting on this year&#8217;s VI-HPS Porting &amp; Tuning Workshop in the following blog post.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">aiXcelerate 2023<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>aiXcelerate 2023 was postponed to spring in anticipation of our <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/2024\/02\/09\/claix-2023\/\">new CLAIX expansion stage (CLAIX-2023<\/a>) with Intel Sapphire Rapids processors. In order to further expand the workshop, there was additional national and international support for the analysis tools presented.<\/p>\n<p>The aiXcelerate then became a VI-HPS Porting &amp; Tuning Workshop &#8211; the 44th in the series of tuning workshops of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vi-hps.org\/training\/tws\/tw44.html\">Virtual Institute High Productivity Supercomputing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18762\" style=\"width: 284px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/03\/DSC_9075-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18762\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18762\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/03\/DSC_9075-274x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/03\/DSC_9075-274x300.jpg 274w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/03\/DSC_9075-936x1024.jpg 936w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/03\/DSC_9075-768x841.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/03\/DSC_9075-1403x1536.jpg 1403w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/03\/DSC_9075-1871x2048.jpg 1871w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 274px) 100vw, 274px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18762\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Own illustration<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This was held simultaneously in a hybrid format at the <a href=\"https:\/\/tu-dresden.de\/zih\">ZIH of TU Dresden<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itc.rwth-aachen.de\/cms\/~rbnjb\/it-center\/\">the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University<\/a>. Presentations were streamed from the locations in Aachen and Dresden to the other location and at the same time, other participants were able to attend the workshop live via Zoom.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to speakers from Aachen and Dresden, there were also contributions from the <a href=\"https:\/\/hpc.fau.de\/\">NHR@FAU<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fz-juelich.de\/de\/ias\/jsc\">J\u00fclich Supercomputing Center<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uvsq.fr\/english\">Universit\u00e9 de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uoregon.edu\/\">University of Oregon in Eugene<\/a>. A wide range of performance analysis tools were thus presented to the workshop participants both on site and online.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">The flair of our aiXcelerate was not missed<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As with all our aiXcelerate workshops, the VI-HPS Tuning Workshops also focus on the direct application of what has been learned during our hands-on parts, which followed each presentation and in an extensive afternoon session. At this point, the support and guidance provided by the HPC experts present on site is crucial to the success of this concept, which has now been running for 16 years.<\/p>\n<p>Performance engineering is seen as an elementary component of research software engineering (RSE), which enables researchers from a wide range of backgrounds to learn the necessary software engineering skills to successfully conduct computer-aided science. As a founding member of the VI-HPS, the IT Center supports the productive use of HPC systems at state, national and international level.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">But that&#8217;s not all<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the well-known aiXcelerate, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc-events\/en\/ppces\/\">PPCES<\/a> is also a long-standing tradition at the IT Center. The event &#8220;Parallel Programming in Computational Engineering and Science&#8221;, or PPCES for short, takes place every spring.<\/p>\n<p>Today is exactly that day in spring, because this year&#8217;s PPCES will take place from March 11 to March 15.
