Dear HPC users of LRZ, We would like to invite you to attend a special public lecture hosted by LRZ and PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe. Andrey Semin (Intel Deutschland GmbH) will speak about the Intel Xeon Scalable (codenamed Skylake) processor that powers the new LRZ supercomputer SuperMUC-NG. The event flyer is available under https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2019-03-18_hppa1w18/Flyer-Semin.... . Date: March 20, 2019 Time: 13:30 - 15:30 Location: LRZ, Hörsaal, H.E.009, Boltzmannstraße 1, 85748 Garching near Munich Title: Intel Xeon Scalable (Skylake) Processor Architecture Abstract: This special lecture will be devoted to the Intel Xeon Scalable (codenamed Skylake) processor that powers the brand new LRZ supercomputer: SuperMUC-NG. The presentation will cover details about the Skylake core microarchitecture and the Xeon uncore design. Additionally, the talk will provide details about the SuperMUC-NG compute node design and the fabric system architecture. Biography: Andrey Semin is a Principal Engineer at Intel in EMEA. He supports the leading European high-performance computing users, helping them to deploy new and innovative HPC solutions to grand-challenge problems. Andrey has been instrumental in developing HPC industry innovations delivering improvements in the energy efficiency from data center to applications. Andrey graduated from Moscow State University, specializing in possibility theory and its applications for physical experiment analysis. He is the author of over a dozen papers and patents in the area of application tuning and energy efficiency analysis, and recently Andrey co-authored a book "Optimizing HPC Applications with Intel Cluster Tools". In 2018 Andrey was honored with an Intel Achievement Award - the highest award given to an individual by Intel. This talk will be in English. Registration is not necessary. You are cordially invited and we hope that we can welcome you at LRZ for this interesting talk. Please also pass this lecture announcement to other interested colleagues.
