Presentation
Students@SC HPC Crash Course
DescriptionThis event, which will take place from 8:30am to 3:30pm on Sunday, November 17, in person at SC24 in Room B216, is open to anyone interested in learning more about high-performance computing (HPC). Participants will receive an overview of HPC programming environments, parallel programming models, job schedulers, and job launchers. Afterward, they will be directed to self-guided HPC challenges covering basic parallel programming, AI, and GPU programming topics. These challenges will be performed on Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility’s (OLCF) Frontier Exascale system and Purdue’s Anvil supercomputer. Frontier is currently the most powerful supercomputer in the world. Students will have access to Frontier during the workshop and to Anvil afterward to complete the exercises required for an HPC Crash Course certificate. No pre-registration is required.
Pre-Workshop Session:
We will host a virtual help session on November 7 at 10:00am (EST) to review requirements, what to expect, and why you should know about HPC.
To attend the help session, please complete this web form: https://forms.gle/jPRxGebRW3HSLHSZ8
We will send you the link to join the session before November 7.
Frontier Access Requirements:
Eligible participants will be provided access tokens and usernames for Frontier during the workshop. To gain access to Frontier:
1. Bring a government-issued photo ID to the workshop for quick access vetting.
2. Bring an internet-ready laptop to the event.
3. Note that foreign nationals from countries listed in section 15 CFR 740.7 License Exceptions for Computers (including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria) may require a lengthy approval process for access to DOE supercomputers. If approval cannot be obtained in time for the HPC Crash Course, affected participants can apply to work on Anvil.
Anvil Access Requirements:
Participants who need more time to complete exercises after the workshop or who cannot gain access to Frontier can apply for access to Anvil. It is strongly recommended that participants apply for Anvil access ahead of the workshop.
