Meetings & Workshops

Using HIP and GPU Libraries with OpenMP
December 14, 2022, 1:00 – 2:30 PM (ET), Virtual via Zoom

This training is designed for Fortran and C/C++ users who are using OpenMP or considering OpenMP for their applications on Frontier. The focus will be showing how one can augment an OpenMP program with GPU kernels and libraries written in HIP. We build on the previous OpenMP training in OLCF’s “Preparing for Frontier” series OpenMP Offload Basics and OpenMp Optimization and Data Movement. For Fortran OpenMP programmers, we will demonstrate how to build or use the C-interoperability interfaces to launch HIP kernels and call ROCm libraries (for example, rocBLAS, rocFFT, etc.), while using OpenMP to manage data allocation and movement. Users of OLCF, ALCF and NERSC are welcome to attend this training.

Frontier Training Workshop
February 15-17, 2023
Virtual via Zoom

The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) will host a virtual Frontier Training Workshop February 15-17, 2023. This event is meant to help new Frontier users (or those intending to use Frontier) learn how to run on the system. The first day will feature presentations and a hands-on session. The last two days will feature presentations from vendors and staff. The presentations for this workshop are meant to deliver relevant information about the system (hardware, job launcher, programming methods, etc.), while the hands-on session is intended to help participants learn how to run jobs on the system. To participate in the hands-on, you must have an account on Frontier or Crusher. For more details and to register see: https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/calendar/frontier-training-workshop-february-2023/
