Introduction to SuperMUC - the new Petaflop Supercomputer at LRZ

[LRZ aktuell]

Introduction for SuperMUC Users
 
 You can attend the lectures without registration, also only in parts.
 
 Date: July 2-5, 2012 10:00 - 17:00
 
 Location: LRZ Building, University campus Garching, near Munich
 (Lecture room H.E.009)
 
 This four-day workshop gives an introduction to the usage of the new
 Petaflop class Supercomputer at LRZ, SuperMUC. The first three days of
 this are dedicated to presentations by Intel on their software
 development stack (compilers, tools and libraries); the remaining day
 will be comprised of talks and exercises delivered by IBM and LRZ on
 usage of the IBM-specific aspects of the new system (IBM MPI,
 LoadLeveler, HPC Toolkit) and recommendations on tuning and optimizing
 for the new system.
 
 The following schedule is preliminary and may undergo changes.
 
 Monday schedule:
 
 Introduction to the x86 Westmere and Sandy Bridge Processor
 Architecture
 
 Usage of Intel Compilers: switches, optimization, profiling, OpenMP,
 advanced features
