Omnistat provides a set of utilities to aid cluster administrators or application developers to aggregate scale-out system metrics via low-overhead sampling across all hosts in a cluster or, alternatively on a subset of hosts associated with individual user jobs. At its core, Omnistat aggregates key telemetry from diverse subsystems, including memory/compute usage on AMD Instinct accelerators, network interface traffic, power/energy usage, and hardware performance counters. This talk will present an overview of Omnistat’s architecture, available metrics of interest, and example usage demos on ORNL's Frontier supercomputer targeting end-users with SLURM job-script examples.

PennyLane is a cross-platform Python library for quantum computing, quantum machine learning, and quantum chemistry. This training event introduces participants to key concepts and tools, enabling them to explore quantum algorithms and integrate them in an HPC setting. We will explore key PennyLane functionalities using both GPUs and CPUs on the Odo training cluster (a smaller cluster with the same architecture as the Frontier system). Whether you're a beginner or familiar with quantum programming, the tutorial offers valuable insights and practical knowledge into the world of quantum computing.

This course provides an overview of ParaView, including how to visualize and process data. The examples are based on use cases from several scientific domains. Kitware, the developer of ParaView, will lead the training for NERSC, ALCF, LANL, and OLCF users. This training mixes theory and application with a set of tutorials and exercises. Users will be able to follow along using ParaView installed on their local systems or the choices of an HPC center system (NERSC/ALCF/LANL/OLCF) where they have an account on. Please notice the required prerequisites below to have installed a local client and tested connecting to a server on an HPC system

Learn how to profile and trace applications on AMD CPUs and GPUs using the TAU Performance System® (tau.uoregon.edu). This tutorial will cover performance profiling, memory and I/O analysis, OpenMP offload instrumentation, and visualization with Vampir and ParaProf. Participants will also see how TAU integrates with ROCm tools (rocprofiler-sdk) and the E4S software stack (e4s.io).

OLCF, in partnership with AMD, HPE, and others, invites research teams to participate in a competitive hackathon on Frontier, the world’s most powerful supercomputer. Participants will work to advance fundamental scientific discovery by exploring strategies to optimize performance, scalability, and data processing, as well as developing innovative methods to accelerate high-performance computing workflows and enhance computational efficiency. Selected teams will collaborate with leading experts to push the boundaries of what is possible on exascale systems. Proposals are due by March 4.

The Quantum Computing User Forum brings together both users of the Quantum Computing User Program (QCUP) and other interested parties in order to discuss common practices in the development of applications, software, and simulations for quantum computing devices and systems. Hosted by the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Forum is scheduled for July 20-24th, 2026.
