The course is held by an expert from Cray.
Topics covered on this course include:
- Introduction to the Cray compiler environment (CCE) and Cray performance analysis tools (PAT)
- Cray Perftools
- performance analysis with Cray tools applied to
- simple examples like stencil codes
- and real-world codes (CP2K, Quantum Espresso, MaxwellsCPU3D (DGTD))
- This will include an hands-on on the cluster systems of PC².
Please note:
- The couse assumes:
- basic knowledge of the Linux shell. We provide a short online selftest. In case you have no experience with Linux, we recommend that you attend our next Linux Introduction Course
- basic knowledge of workload managers (esp. Slurm) and jobscripts. We provide a short online selftest. In case you have no experience with workload manager on clusters, we recommend that you attend our next HPC Introduction Course.
- The language of the course is planned to be English.
- For the hands-on part of the course the participants should bring their own laptops. No special operating system is required. You can participate with Windows, MacOS or some Linux-distribution. Please make sure that the wireless connection of your laptop works (for example with eduroam). In case you don't have access to eduroam, we provide a an additional wireless network during the course.
