Center Announcements

9th WACCPD Workshop @ SC22 Call For PapersThe Call for Papers for the 9th Workshop on Accelerator Programming Using Directives is now open! The workshop aims to showcase all aspects of accelerator programming for heterogeneous systems such as innovative high-level language or library approaches, lessons learned while using directives or other portable approaches to migrate scientific legacy code to modern systems, and compilation and runtime scheduling techniques. The paper submission deadline is August 12, 2022 AOE. For more information, see https://www.waccpd.org/.

2022 P3HPC Workshop @ SC22 Call for Papers

The 2022 International Workshop on Performance, Portability & Productivity in HPC (P3HPC) call for papers is now open! P3HPC provides a forum for researchers and developers to discuss their successes and failures in tackling the compelling problems that lie at the intersection of performance, portability and productivity (P3) and High-Performance Computing (HPC). The topic of P3 touches on many aspects of HPC software development and the workshop program is expected to reflect a wide range of experiences and perspectives, including those of compiler, language and runtime experts; applications developers, performance engineers; and domain scientists. The abstract submissions deadline is August 8, 2022 AOE and the full paper submission deadline is August 12, 2022 AOE. For more information, please see: https://p3hpc.org/workshop/2022/

17th Workshop on Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science @ SC22 Call for PapersThe Call for Papers for the 17th Workshop on Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science is now open! The workshop focuses on the many facets of scientific workflow management systems, ranging from actual execution to service management and the coordination and optimization of data, service, and job dependencies. The workshop covers a broad range of issues in the scientific workflow lifecycle that include: scientific workflows representation and enactment; workflow scheduling techniques to optimize the execution on heterogeneous infrastructures; workflow enactment engines that deal with failures in the application and infrastructure; and a number of computer science problems related to scientific workflows such as semantic technologies, compiler methods, fault tolerance, etc. The paper submission deadline is August 15, 2022 AOE.

Meetings & Workshops

AI for Science Bootcamp
August 25-26
NERSC, in collaboration with NVIDIA, will present a 2-day bootcamp designed to teach users fundamental concepts and practices in deep learning, and how to effectively apply them to scientific problems. Participants will learn how to implement the primary components of deep learning workflows, including hands-on exercises training and evaluating custom deep-learning models on scientific datasets.

For more information and to register, please see https://www.nersc.gov/users/training/events/nersc-ai-for-science-bootcamp-august-25-26-2022/. Space is limited, and active NERSC/ALCF/OLCF users will be prioritized during the registration process.

Introduction to OpenMP Offload
August 11, 1:00-3:30 pm EDT,Part 1: OpenMP Basics of Offload
September 1, 1:00-3:30 pm EDT,Part 2: OpenMP Optimization and Data Movement
Virtual via Zoom
These sessions, offered by OLCF and NERSC, are part of the OLCF’s Preparing for Frontier training series. Please click this link to visit the main page to see other sessions in the series. These OpenMP Offload trainings twill enable application teams and developers to accelerate their code with the use of GPUs, as well as exploiting the latest OpenMP functionality to program multi-core platforms like Summit, and Perlmutter. Both Part 1 and Part 2 of this training will have focused discussion about what you need to prepare for using OpenMP on Frontier.

Register for Part1, OpenMP Basics of Offload at: hxxps://www.olcf.ornl.gov/calendar/introduction-to-openmp-offload-part-1/

Register for Part2, OpenMP Optimization and Data Movement at: hxxps://www.olcf.ornl.gov/calendar/introduction-to-openmp-offload-part-2/

Using R on HPC Clusters Webinar
August 17,19 1:00- 4:00 pm EDT
Virtual via Zoom
This OLCF hosted tutorial Webinar helps users learn a basic workflow for how to use R on an HPC cluster. The tutorial will focus on parallel computing as a means to speed up R scripts on a cluster computer. Many packages in R offer some form of parallel computing yet they rely on a much smaller set of underlying approaches: multithreading in compiled code, the unix fork, and MPI. The tutorial will take a narrow path to focus on packages that directly engage the underlying approaches, yet are easy to use at a high-level. This workshop is targeted for users of OLCF, CADES, ALCF and NERSC. Users who do not already have accounts on those system are welcome to attend the lectures but will not be able to participate in all of the hands-on activities.

Data Visualization & Analytics Series: ParaView at OLCF
September 15, 2022 1:00pm – 3:00pm EDT

ParaView is an open-source data analysis and visualization application that allows users to quickly build visualizations to analyze their data. Available in both a GUI mode and a batch mode, ParaView is able to analyze extremely large datasets using distributed memory computing resources. This beginner friendly event will provide an overview of how to access ParaView at OLCF and a tutorial of how to use ParaView to visualize different datasets.

The hands-on component of this training is limited to users with moderate security enclave projects (i.e. able to access Summit/Andes), although others are welcome to sign up and attend the presentations. Additionally, hands-on examples will be available after the event for Moderate users to access and work with on their own. For more information or to register, see https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/calendar/paraview-at-olcf/

Nsight Systems and Nsight Compute Profiling WorkshopAugust 31, 1:00pm-3:00 pm EDTVirtual on Zoom

NVIDIA® Nsight™ Systems is a system-wide performance analysis tool designed to visualize an application’s algorithms, help you identify the largest opportunities to optimize, and tune to scale efficiently across any quantity or size of CPUs and GPUs. This OLCF hosted workshop, given by NVIDIA, will show how to use Nsight Systems and Nsight Compute for tracing an HPC application. Users from ALCF, NERSC and OLCF are encouraged to register. If you do not have an account at one of those centers, you are welcome to register watch the lectures but we will not be able to provide you a compute resource for the hands-on parts of the course.
