Performance Analysis Workshop Series [20 April -18 May]: Registration Deadline

Thursday 6 Apr 2023, 00:00 → 23:59 UTC

Performance Analysis Workshop Series 2023
20 April – 18 May, 2023

Location:  Durham University, Department of Computer Science, Durham, UK, and online

With every new generation of computers, we observe that the gap between theoretical performance of a machine and performance that is  actually delivered by applications widens. Codes struggle to exploit the  machines. It therefore becomes compulsory for researchers and research  software engineers in HPC to understand how well codes use the machinery and why they do so. Insight into performance behaviour can drive the code evolution and eventually become a seedcorn to facilitate future insight through computing.

This workshop series offers a tour-de-force through some selected open source tools that allow researchers to assess the behaviour of their code. The workshops are augmented with revision sessions of some core HPC know-how which often has never been taught directly to research software developers from non-computer science disciplines. Finally, the  workshop encourages participants to bring along their own codes and to 
assess and improve these codes continuously throughout the series.

Dates:

• 20, 25, 27 April
• 2, 4, 9, 11, 18 May

 

Call for participants
The course is open to all researchers free of charge. We are looking for participants that 

• can bring along a HPC research code (see remarks below) which they want to optimise over the course of the workshops; 
• join the workshops as a team. In the ideal case at least 2-3 participants sign up per team;
• commit to participate in all workshop sessions where possible such that at least one participant per team is present in each session;
• have expertise with C or FORTRAN, MPI and some kind of multithreading; 
• sign up for access to DINE through the project do009.
