Content NEC SX-8 Usage and Programming

Thursday: Overview on NEC SX-8 at HLRS, usage, vectorization, parallelization and performance optimization
Friday: Filesystems and I/O on SX-8, BLIS, a vectorized, linear iterative solver, and optimization hints based on experience in the Teraflop Workbench
Abstract Ziel des Kurses ist es, den Teilnehmern die Möglichkeiten der aktuellen Multiteraflop NEC SX-8 Installation am HLRS aufzuzeigen, und Ihnen das Rüstzeug zu geben, Cluster aus Shared Memory Vektor Rechnern in effizienter Art und Weise zu nutzen. Die Konfiguration der Installation wird ebenso abgedeckt wie Grundzüge der Vektorisierung. Für erfahrene Vektorrechner Nutzer sind die SX spezifischen Methoden zur Performance Messung und Analyse sowie die Bedienung der Compiler und des Systems insbesondere für parallele Programme von Interesse. Schwerpunkt des zweiten Tags ist die I/O und Optimierung von Anwendungsprogrammen auf der SX-8. Hierbei wird auch BLIS vorgestellt. BLIS ist ein vektorisierender, linearer, iterativer Solver, der im Rahmen der Teraflop Workbench zur Optimierung von Anwendungsprogrammen eingesetzt werden kann. Dieser Workshop dient der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung im Bereich Computational Science, aber auch dem wissenschaftlichen Austausch der Teilnehmer untereinander.

Seperate registration of individual days is possible.

Cancelation policy If you cannot come to the course, please send an email to the organizer as soon as possible. This would allow us to accept additional participants from the waiting-list. There is no cancelation fee.
NO-SHOW: Registered persons that do not cancel or do not show up without any reasons are blocked for the next year on any of our workshops (because it is to expensive to produce unused copies of the slides for them).
Limit maximum of 42 participants in Stuttgart and Kassel, 35 in Dresden and Manno, 34 in Garching, 26 in Jülich (according to the seats in the rooms).
Handouts Each participant will get a paper copy of all slides.
The MPI-1 part of the course is based on the MPI course developed by the EPCC Training and Education Centre, Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre.
If you want, you may also buy copies of the standards MPI-1, MPI-2 and OpenMP (about 6 to 8 Euro each).
Most material of the course (including the audio information) can also be viewed in the ONLINE Parallel Programming Workshop.
