Dear HPC users of LRZ, We still have free places for the following training events at LRZ offered in collaboration with the Regional Computing Centre Erlangen (RRZE) and the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE): PRACE Course: Node-Level Performance Engineering Date: Wednesday, February 20 - Thursday, February 21, 2019, 9:00 - 17:00 Registration deadline: Feb 10, 2019 (extended deadline!!) Location: LRZ Lecturers: Dr.-Ing. Jan Eitzinger, Dr. habil. Georg Hager (RRZE) Topics: This course teaches performance engineering approaches on the compute node level. "Performance engineering" as we define it is more than employing tools to identify hotspots and bottlenecks. It is about developing a thorough understanding of the interactions between software and hardware.
