CENTER ANNOUNCEMENTS

TRANSITION TO SLURM ON RHEA AND DTNS
Rhea and the Data Transfer Nodes will transition to using Slurm for job scheduling on September 3, 2019. To help ensure a smooth transition, we have made 192 Rhea nodes and 2 DTNs available for your testing purposes. Slurm is available from the login nodes of both systems, and we encourage you to try it out before the transition on September 3. For more information on using Slurm at OLCF, see the Running Jobs section of the Rhea User Guide.

MEETINGS & WORKSHOPS

INTRODUCTION TO AMD GPU PROGRAMMING WITH HIP WEBINAR (SEP 6)
AMD Research will be presenting a webinar titled, “Introduction to AMD GPU programming with HIP” on September 6th from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM ET. HIP is a C++ runtime API that allows developers to write portable code to run on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. It is an interface that uses the underlying Radeon Open Compute (ROCm) or CUDA platform that is installed on a system. The API is similar to CUDA so porting existing codes from CUDA to HIP should be fairly straightforward in most cases. For more information, or to register, please visit the event page.

UPCOMING SCHEDULED OUTAGES

The home.ccs.ornl.gov general login system may be intermittently unavailable from 4:00 PM until 9:00 PM on Wednesday, August 28.
