Performance portability on current and upcoming archictures: Virtual Tutorial POSTPONED - new date tba

Peter Boyle, University of Edinburgh

Peter will discuss performance portable programming used to develop a data parallel structured grid QCD library. Instructions sets targetted include Arm Neon, IBM BlueGene QPX, Intel SSE, AVX, AVX2 and AVX512, and AMD EPYC processors. Performance as high as 30% of peak is obtained through the compiler in single node code.

He will also discuss performance optimisation for current interconnects and in particular the exploitation of dual rail Omnipath for QCD and for machine learning.

Further details, including joining instructions, can be found at: Virtual Tutorials and Webinars

Upcoming Training Opportunities

  • GPU Programming with CUDA 21-22 November 2017 Daresbury
  • Hands-on Introduction to HPC 4-5 December 2017 Alan Turing Institute London
  • Software Carpentry 11-12 December 2017 Imperial College London
