DESCRIPTION:ARCHER\, the UK's national supercomputing service offers traini
 ng in software development and high-performance computing to scientists an
 d researchers across the UK.\n\nDetails\n\nPersistent memory\, such as Int
 el's Optane DCPMM\, is now available for use in systems and will be includ
 ed in future exascale deployments such as the DoE Aurora system. This new 
 form of memory requires both different programming approaches to exploit t
 he persistent functionality and storage performance and redesign of applic
 ations to benefit from the full performance of the hardware.\n\nThis onlin
 e course aims to educate participants on the persistent memory hardware cu
 rrently available\, the software methods to exploit such hardware\, and th
 e choices that users of systems and system designers have when deciding wh
 at persistent memory functionality and configurations to utilize.\n\nThe c
 ourse will provide hands-on experience on programming persistent memory al
 ong with a wealth of information on the hardware and software ecosystem an
 d potential performance and functionality benefits. We will be using an HP
 C system that has compute nodes with Optane memory for the tutorial practi
 cals.\n\n \n\nTrainer\n\n\nAdrian Jackson\n\nAdrian Jackson is a Research
  Architect at EPCC\, where he works on a range of different research\, fro
 m investigating new memory hardware and programming models\, to optimising
  and porting parallel codes\, and working with application scientists to e
 nable their computational simulation or data analysis. He also teaches on 
 EPCC's MSc in HPC\, giving lectures on Programming Skills\, HPC Architectu
 re\, and Performance Programming.\n\n \n\n \n\nFormat\n\nThis online cou
 rse will run over two sessions on consecutive Wednesday afternoons\, each 
 running 14:00 - 16:30 UTC (15:00 - 17:30 CET) with a half-hour break 15:00
 -15:30 UTC (16:00 - 16:30 CET)\, starting on Wed 15th January and ending o
 n Wed 22nd January 2020.\n\nWe will be using Blackboard Collaborate for th
 e course\, which is very simple to use and entirely browser-based.\n\nColl
 aborate usually works without problems with modern browsers\, but Firefox 
 or Chrome is recommended. Links to join each of the sessions will be publi
 shed on the course materials page.\n\nAttendees will register for the cour
 se in the usual way using the registration form.\n\nComputing requirements
 \n\nAll attendees will need their own desktop or laptop with the following
  software installed:\n\n\n	web browser - e.g. Firefox or Chrome\n	pdf view
 er - e.g. Firefox\, Adobe Acrobat\n\n\nand\n\n\n	ssh client\n	- on Mac/Lin
 ux then Terminal is fine\,\n	- on Windows we recommend MobaXterm which pro
 vides an SSH client\, inbuilt text file editor and X11 graphpics viewer pl
 us a bash shell envioronment. Although this is a bigger install\, it is re
 commended (instead of putty and xming) if you will be accessing HPC machin
 es regularly. There is a 'portable' version of MobaXterm which does not ne
 ed admin install privilages.\n	- on Windows\, if you are not using MobaXte
 rm\, you can use putty from https://www.putty.org/\n	xming X11 graphics vi
 ewer\,\n	- for Mac https://www.xquartz.org/\,\n	- for Windows (if you are 
 not using MobaXterm) http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming/6.9
 .0.31/Xming-6-9-0-31-setup.exe/download\n\n\nWe have recorded an ARCHER Sc
 reencast: Logging on to ARCHER from Windows using PuTTY\nhttps://www.youtu
 be.com/watch?v=oVFQg1qFjKQ\n\nLogging on to the NEXTGenIO prototype system
  is very similar\, but substitute hydra-vpn.epcc.ed.ac.uk as the login add
 ress\, followed by nextgenio-login1.\n\nWe will provide accounts on the NE
 XTGenIO system for all attendees who register in advance.\n\nCourse Materi
 als\n\nAll the course materials\, including lecture notes and exercise mat
 erials will be available on the Course Materials page.\n\nIn addition\, li
 nks to join each of the four online sessions\, and recordings of previous 
 sessions will be available on the course materials page.\nhttps://events.p
