Supercomputing for Everyone Series: Performance Tuning Summer School

 From a user perspective, supercomputers are more complicated to program 
and handle than an ordinary desktop workstation. This may lead to 
parallel programs that do not necessarily satisfy the performance 
expectations of the users. Such unexpected performance results can have 
many reasons. Basic knowledge on performance modeling, prediction and 
verification, as taught in this summer school, is needed by users to 
formulate and verify their performance expectation.

The goals for this class are: - Motivating the need for performance 
considerations – Establishing a common performance vocabulary – 
Learning the standard situations/parameters to have an eye on – 
Getting to know the tools that provide insight – Establishing a higher 
throughput of experiments – Running bigger experiments

Agenda (Lunch on your own daily 1-2pm EDT):

Monday: Performance Engineering (theory + examples)

Tuesday: Easy to use performance analysis workflows

Wednesday: Usage of advanced tools (profile- and trace-based)

Thursday: Tuning of hybrid programs (message passing, threading, 
accelerators)

Friday: Theoretical considerations (Experimental design, performance 
modeling)

This training is available around the country at host-sites through the 
Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering.  LSU is a host 
site!

This course is taught by staff of UITS Research Technologies, a 
cyberinfrastructure and service center affiliated with the Indiana 
University Pervasive Technology Institute.

Visiting Scholar, Holger Brunst of the Technische Universität Dresden 
is the guest instructor.

What you will learn:
The background for performance considerations
A common performance vocabulary
Standard performance situations/parameters to be aware
The tools that provide insight
How to establish a higher throughput of experiments
How to run bigger experiments

What you should already know:
Basic programming and command line skills on Linux systems. Knowledge on 
how to run jobs on supercomputers.
Experience running scientific applications on supercomputers
