17 Apr 12:00 pm 1:00 pmCO Colloquium "How to Buy a Supercomputer for Scientific Computing"Buying a new supercomputer that both maximises total performance, given our budget, and whose architecture suits our users' workloads is a very difficult balancing act. There are a wide range of decisions to be made, such as: CPU architecture; node count; memory size/bandwidth; GPU count; interconnect type; storage size; filesystem type/bandwidth; cooling type and power budget to name but a few. In order to balance all of these constraints we need to come up with a scoring system to compare potential candidate supercomputers. In this talk we describe the Scalable System Improvement (SSI) metric and apply it to the system refresh of Niagara & Mist. Virtual | COCO - 17 Apr 2024 |

11 Jun 1:30 pm 4:30 pmCO Summer School S1: Multicore parallel programming (OpenMP) (afternoon session)This is an introduction to the intermediate level OpenMP hand-on course. OpenMP is a standard parallel programming API that supports multi-platform shared-memory multiprocessing programming in C, C++, and Fortran. This one-day course will cover the principles of OpenMP compiler directives, library routines, and environment variables with step-by-step hand-on examples. Case studies include various approaches for loop parallelism. We will also talk about the Task constructs for irregular programs, and the Target constructs for accelerators such as GPU. Participants will have hand-on programming experience with OpenMP as well as how to compile and run Multi-thread OpenMP code on different alliance clusters. Level: Introductory Length: Two 3-Hour Sessions Format: Lecture + Hands-on (Hands-on portion is CPU only.) Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of C, C++, or Fortran (part of the 2024 Compute Ontario Summer School) Virtual | COSS2024 |
