Meetings & Workshops

March OLCF User Conference Call (Mar 30)
The March OLCF User Conference Call will be held from noon until 1:00 PM Eastern Time on Wednesday, March 30. During this call, HPE’s Sam Partee will present Machine Learning for HPC simulations: Using PyTorch, TensorFlow in Fortran, C, and C++ with SmartSim. As with all our user conference calls no registration is required. For more information, see the event page.

Coding for GPUs Using Standard C++ (Apr 7)
Parallelism features available in ISO C++ and ISO Fortran enable developers to write their codes such that the baseline code is parallel and ready to run on any parallel platform they encounter. Join us from 2 PM – 3 PM (EDT) on Thursday, April 7 for the first part of a series that covers how ISO C++ and ISO Fortran can be used as a portable solution to parallel programming targeting both GPUs and CPUs. This training, given by NVIDIA, will be delivered by Zoom and is targeted for OLCF and NERSC users. For this session we’ll demonstrate the current state-of-the-art in writing application code that is parallel and ready to run on GPUs, CPUs, and more, using only C++.

HPC Best Practices Webinar (Apr 13)
The IDEAS Productivity project, in partnership with the DOE Computing Facilities of the ALCF, OLCF, and NERSC and the DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP) run a webinar series on Best Practices for HPC Software Developers. The April webinar will be presented by JaeHyuk Kwack of Argonne National Laboratory and is titled Evaluating Performance Portability of HPC Applications and Benchmarks Across Diverse HPC Architectures. The webinar will take place on Wednesday, April 13, 2022 at 1:00 pm ET. The webinar is free and open to the public, but registration is required and is available at https://exascaleproject.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIsdOGprDMjE4X9dnLIY1DleDme3cYyFpI.
