HPC workshops (introductory, intermediate, and advanced) scheduled for Jan. 19 through Feb. 9

A series of on-campus high performance computing workshops sponsored by ARC will be held in the coming weeks:

HPC100 — Introduction to the Linux Command Line for HPC Tuesday, Jan. 19, 9 a.m. – noon Thursday, Jan. 21, 1 – 4 p.m. All sessions in B250 East Hall This course will familiarize students with the basics of accessing and interacting with high-performance computers using the GNU/Linux operating system’s command line. For more information, and to register, visit this page. (Please sign up for only one session.) HPC101 — High Performance Computing Workshop Wednesday, Jan.20, 1 – 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 27, 1 – 5 p.m. All sessions in B250 East Hall This course provides an overview of cluster computing in general and how to use the Flux cluster in particular. (Prerequisite: HPC 100 or equivalent.) For more information, and to register, visit this page. (Please sign up for only one session.) HPC201 — Advanced High Performance Computing Workshop Friday, Feb. 2, 1 – 5 p.m., B250 East Hall Tuesday, Feb. 9, 1 – 5 p.m., B254 East Hall This course will cover some more advanced topics in cluster computing on the U-M Flux Cluster. Topics to be covered include a review of common parallel programming models and basic use of Flux; dependent and array scheduling; advanced troubleshooting and analysis using checkjob, qstat, and other tools; use of common scientific applications including Python, MATLAB, and R in parallel environments; parallel debugging and profiling of C and Fortran code, including logging, gdb (line-oriented debugging), ddt (GUI-based debugging) and map (GUI-based profiling) of MPI and OpenMP programs; and an introduction to using GPUs.
