This three day workshop will give attendees the knowledge required to understa nd the most optimal way to port\, optimize and execute applications on Cra y XC40 systems\, such as CSC's "Sisu". The workshop is a mixture of lectur es and practical hands-on sessions. Some example exercises will be provide d\, but attendees are encouraged to bring along their own applications to the workshop. Although the workshop specifically targets the Cray architec ture and programming environment\, many of the topics covered are generall y useful also on other architectures.\nThe course consists of a detailed i ntroduction to the following topics:\n• Cray XC system and its use (modu le system\, storage\, batch job system\, etc.)\n• Compiling and porting codes to the Cray XC\n• Profiling and optimizing parallel codes\n• Pro gram development tools and libraries on Sisu\nRoughly half of the course w ill be devoted to hands-on work on participants' own codes.\nIt is highly recommended to bring your own laptop.AgendaTuesday 4 November\, 2014\n\n 09:00 - 09:30 Course introduction\n \n 09:30 - 10:00 XC40 architecture ov erview\n \n 10:00 - 10:30 Module environment\n \n 10:30 - 10:45 Coffee b reak\n \n 10:45 - 11:15 First steps to running on XC\n \n 11:15 - 12:00 Hands-on: Porting applications\n \n 12:00 - 13:00 Lunch break\n \n 13:00 - 13:45 Overview of compilers and libraries\n \n 13:45 - 14:30 Hands-on: Porting applications\n \n 14:30 - 14:45 Coffee break\n \n 14:45 - 15:30 More advanced topics in scheduling and job placement\n \n 15:30 - 16:30 Hands-on: Porting applications\n \n 16:30 - 17:00 Round-table on experien ces\, Q&\;A\nWednesday 5 November\, 2014\n\n 09:00 - 09:30 Cray scient ific libraries\n \n 09:30 - 10:00 Short introduction to Lustre and parall el I/O\n \n 10:00 - 10:30 Debugging tools\n \n 10:30 - 10:45 Coffee brea k\n \n 10:45 - 11:30 Introduction to performance analysis\n \n 11:30 - 1 2:00 Hands-on: Profiling applications\n \n 12:00 - 13:00 Lunch break\n \n 13:00 - 13:45 Hands-on: Profiling applications\n \n 13:45 - 14:30 Impro ving single-core efficiency\n \n 14:30 - 14:45 Coffee break\n \n 14:45 - 16:30 Hands-on: Profiling and optimizing applications\n \n 16:30 - 17:00 Round-table on experiences\, Q&\;A\nThursday 6 November\, 2014\n\n 09 :00 - 09:30 Tips for improving parellel scalability\n \n 09:30 - 10:30 Ha nds-on: Optimizing applications\n \n 10:30 - 10:45 Coffee break\n \n 10: 45 - 11:15 Hands-on: Optimizing applications\n \n 11:15 - 12:00 I/O Optim ization\n \n 12:00 - 13:00 Lunch break\n \n 13:00 - 14:00 Hands-on: Opti mizing applications\n \n 14:00 - 14:30 Reveal too\n \n 14:30 - 14:45 Co ffee break\n \n 14:45 - 15:15 CrayPAT advanced features\n \n 15:15 - 16: 30 Hands-on: Optimizing applications\n \n 16:30 - 17:00 Round-table on ex periences\, Q&\;A\nLearning outcome \nThis workshop will give attendees the knowledge required to understand the most optimal way to port\, optim ize and execute applications on the Cray XC platform.Pre-requisites\nSome parallel programming skills (MPI\, Fortran/C) and fluent operation within a Unix OS will be assumed.
