[LA-SiGMA] HPC Training: Xeon Phi programming 1

[Feng Chen]

Dear All,

The Schedule for the Spring 2015 HPC Training is available at http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/tutorials.php.

Our next HPC training will be held on Wednesday, Mar. 25 at 9:30 AM in 307 Frey and broadcast through Adobe Connect for remote users. Note that all HPC trainings will start at 9:30AM.

Next two HPC Trainings:

Wednesday, March 25,2015: Xeon Phi programming 1
Wednesday, April   1,2015: Xeon Phi programming 2

Intel Xeon Phi is a coprocessor based on Many Integrated Core Architecture or MIC. Computer codes can be accelerated substantially with Xeon Phi. More importantly, the programming architecture is based on traditional OpenMP and MPI. It is convenient to migrate your current CPU-based OpenMP or MPI codes to Xeon Phi. The recently launched supercomputer SuperMIC at LSU provides hundreds of compute nodes with Xeon Phis. If you want to accelerate your codes on SuperMIC, this is really the training you cannot miss. You will learn how to write, compile and run Xeon-phi codes in this two-session training. In the first session, computing features of Xeon phi and its usage in HPC will be introduced. Then we will focus on state-of-the-art Xeon-phi programming, including native mode and offloading. In the second session, we will introduce symmetric processing with both CPU and Xeon phi. Optimizing and debugging codes will be also covered. Finally we will show some examples for running Xeon-phi enabled applications.
Prerequisites: OpenMP and MPI parallel computation, C or Fortran programming (Either one is fine.), all of the above are assumed but not required.

Users who plan on joining remotely will be provided with an Adobe Connect Link in their registration confirmation email. Please see the system requirements at http://connect.grok.lsu.edu/Categories.aspx?parentCategoryId=1519.

Please distribute to faculty, staff and students that might be interested.

Thanks,
