XSEDE Training: Parallel Computing on Stampede

January 10-11, 2013 (Thursday and Friday)
8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT
ROC 1.900

J.J. Pickle Research Campus
10100 Burnet Rd.
Austin, TX 78758

*This class will be webcast.*

*Registration closes January 3.*

The Stampede supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center will 
become available in early 2013, and will be the first system to deploy 
at scale the Intel Xeon Phi CoProcessor. Stampede will provide nearly 10 
petaflops of peak performance, and become the new flagship system of the 
US National Science Foundation's XSEDE Cyberinfrastructure.

Stampede will provide more than 100,000 cores and 2PF of Intel Xeon E5 
'Sandy Bridge' processors, and an additional 7+ PF of Intel Xeon Phi 
CoProcessors. In this tutorial, we will introduce the Stampede 
architecture, and cover how to achieve performance using both the 
conventional processors as well as the coprocessors.

*The MIC instruction will be the second half of the second day of the 
class, Friday, January 11.*

Topics will include:

  * Stampede architecture overview
  * The Stampede user environment, including the batch system, compiler
    environment, application modules, etc.
  * MPI and OpenMP parallel programming
  * Hands-on exercises with Stampede.
  * Basic optimization and vector tuning on Stampede for Sandy Bridge
    and Xeon Phi Coprocessors (MICs)
  * Hybrid computing
  * Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor (MIC) overview
  * Programming models for Sandy Bridge -- MIC computing: native,
    symmetric and offload.

The labs will be available for remote users. However, we will not be 
able to assist remote users with problems during the lab. Remote users 
are invited to submit their questions via email.
