Content

NEC SX-8 and SX-9 Usage and Programming

	Overview on NEC SX-8 and SX-9 at HLRS, usage, vectorization, parallelization and performance optimization
	Filesystems and I/O on NEC SX, 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 neuen NEC SX-9 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. I/O und Optimierung von Anwendungsprogrammen auf der SX-9 runden das Thema ab. Ein Schwerpunkt am ersten Nachmittag sind die Unterschiede zwischen dem Vorgängersystem NEC SX-8 und der neuen NEC SX-9.

The participants learn about the configuration of the NEC SX-9 system at HLRS and how to use this cluster of vectorizing shared memory nodes. One focus is an introduction in vectorization. More experienced users can learn how to optimize programs based on performance measurements. Additional topics are I/O and the optimization of application programs. The first afternoon is focused on the differences between the predecessor system and the new NEC SX-9.

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, 20 an der TUHH (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-2.1 (Hardcover, 17 Euro) and OpenMP 3.0 (about 8 Euro).
Most material of the course (including the audio information) can also be viewed in the ONLINE Parallel Programming Workshop.
