VI-HPS and the German PRACE Advanced Training Centre (PATC) are organizing the 12th VI-HPS Tuning Workshop, the latest in a series of workshops given by tools developers for application developers. The Virtual Institute - High Productivity Supercomputing (VI-HPS) is an initiative to promote the development, integration and use of HPC tool - for further information about it, see www.vi-hps.org .

Participants are invited to bring their own application codes to the workshop to analyze and tune their performance with the help of experts.

The workshop will:

  • give an overview of the VI-HPS programming tools suite,
  • explain the functionality of individual tools, and how to use them effectively, and
  • offer hands-on experience and expert assistance using the tools.

Workshop Overview

The workshop will be held in English and run from 09:00 to not later than 18:00 each day, with breaks for lunch and refreshments.

There is no fee for participation, however, participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation.

Presentations and hands-on sessions are planned on the following topics:

  • Score-P instrumentation and measurement,
  • Scalasca automated trace analysis,
  • Vampir interactive trace analysis,
  • Periscope on-line automated analysis,
  • Paraver trace analysis,
  • TAU performance system,
  • MUST correctness checking of MPI, and
  • other tools.

For the full programme, see www.vi-hps.org/training/tws/tw12.html .

Classroom capacity is limited, therefore priority will be given to applicants with parallel codes already running on the workshop computer system (Juqueen BGQ), and those bringing codes from similar BlueGene systems to work on. Participants are therefore encouraged to prepare their own MPI, OpenMP and hybrid OpenMP/MPI parallel application codes for analysis.
