As part of our training service\, in conjun ction with DiRAC\, we will be running a 2 day ‘Performance Analysis Work shop’ training session.\n\nCurrent and future supercomputing architectur es face a dramatic growth of parallelism and heterogeneity on multiple lev els. As a result\, it is close to impossible for researchers being code de velopers to predict which parts of their code perform\, which realisation decisions impact the scalability\, which choice of data structures are rea sonable for a specific architecture\, and so forth. Most decisions are bas ed upon experience\, upon intuition and upon a limited understanding of th e code's performance.\n\nTo get a better understanding of the code perform ance and to guide performance engineering\, it is inevitable for computati onal scientists and engineers to conduct measurements and to study the per formance in detail\; in the best case prior to rewriting software or manua l tuning. Performance analysis tools\, a generalisation of the classic pro filer\, are the right tools to obtain this insight. However\, they themsel ves require a decent level of understanding\, experience and expertise to be used economically – which adds to the hardness and complexity of the underlying problem. This workshop is one event in a sequence of meetings w here performance analysis tools are introduced\, some hands-on training is done and existing mature source code is analysed. It focusses primarily o n MPI\, as a sibling course on shared memory and manycore architectures is given at EPCC earlier in the year.\n\nThe workshop is organised in cooper ation with the VI-HPS: The Virtual Institute - High Productivity Supercomp uting (VI-HPS) is a consortium of world-leading developers of performance analysis tools. Besides streamlining and improving the research on these t ools\, the consortium also offers workshops on how to use their tools on a regular basis. Such a two-day course shall be offered at Durham open to D iRAC\, PATC and Durham researchers. The target group is computational scie ntists and researchers that already use high performance computing (HPC) f acilities for computationally demanding challenges\, that are actively inv olved in HPC code development\, and can directly benefit in their research from a better understanding of why their code performs in a certain way.\ n\nTobias Weinzierl\nBrian Wylie\, David Henty\n\nNote that registration f or this course is now closed. If you are interested in attending\, please contact us at training@staffmail.ed.ac.uk\, in case a place has become ava ilable due to a cancellation.\n\nPlaces on this course are strictly limite d\, and will be allocated on a first-come\, first served basis\, but with some priority given in the hands-on sessions for those working with codes deemed most suitable for the purposes of the workshop.\n\n \n\nAgenda:\n\ nIt is a two-day course\, each day split into three parts (A\, B and C):\n \n• Day 1/Part A: 09:30-11:00\nWelcome &\; general introduction to pe rformance analysis paradigms: differences of profiling and tracing\, machi ne specifics\, success stories\, inefficiency pattern identification\, and so forth.\nLecture on profiling with Scalasca\, Score-P &\; CUBE.\nBro adcasted via webinar to DiRAC members.• Day 1/Part B: 11:30-13:00\nHands -on session profiling with Scalasca\,Score-P &\; CUBE.\nMaterial is fre ely available to remote DiRAC members\; questions can be asked through web inar interface.• Day 1/Part C: 14:00-17:30\nApply previously discussed t ools to selected research codes with help of presenters.• Day 2/Part A: 09:30-11:00\nLecture on complementary performance analysis tools (Vampir\, TAU\, Kcachegrind\, …).\nOutlook: Recent trends in performance analysis research w.r.t. upcoming exascale computers and applications.\nCorrectnes s checking with MUST. Trace analyses with Scalasca &\; Vampir.\nBroadca sted via webinar to DiRAC members.• Day 2/Part B: 11:30-13:00\nHands-on sessions with MUST and Scalasca.\nMaterial is freely available to remote D iRAC members\; questions can be asked through webinar interface.• Day 2/ Part C: 14:00-17:30\nApply previously discussed tools to selected research codes with help of presenters.\n\nTimetable page\n\nhttps://events.prace- ri.eu/event/386/ SUMMARY:Performance Analysis Workshop @ EPCC at University of Durham URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/386/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
