World record for the longest term reliable trajectory for the Lorenz system achieved on Nestum!

Hristov, I., Hristova, R., et al. achieved a world record for the longest term reliable trajectory for the Lorenz system on Nestum in their work:

Hristov, I., Hristova, R., Dimova, S., Armyanov, P., Shegunov, N., Puzynin, I., Puzynina, T., Sharipov, Z., Tukhliev, Z., On the efficient parallel computing of long term reliable trajectories for the lorenz system (2021) CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2933, pp. 78-88, SJR (0.177 – 2020), https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85113369313&partnerID=40&md5=9a7851e223a8df1da6a75abd2c20fbf9

The previous record was achieved on one of the largest supercomputing clusters in the world – Tianhe. 

The HPC lab team sends our congratulations to the paper authors and we wish them many more similar records in the future.

PRACE Advanced HPC Workshop

Registration for the PRACE Advanced HPC Workshop is opened:
This special online advanced HPC track of courses consists of three separate training events on advanced HPC topics. The advanced track begins with the Message Passing Interface (MPI), the dominating programming model, continues with node level performance optimisation and finishes with hybrid programming. All the advanced courses include effective and personalised, practical hands-on sessions with relevant exercises. The courses include small group breakout rooms.
Target Audience & Prerequisites: These courses are targeted to intermediate and advanced level users, who already have the basic knowledge of HPC and parallel computing skills.
You need to have previous knowledge to participate in all 3 courses of this PRACE Advanced HPC Workshop, in particular you should have:
– Good knowledge of C/C++ or Fortran,
– Good knowledge of threading using OpenMP,
– Basic knowledge of modern CPU architectures,
– Be able to work on the Linux command line.
Trainers:
All trainers are the top specialists in the leading PRACE Training Centres and their partner institutions.
Dates:
17-20 May 2022 – Parallelization with MPI @ VSC Vienna
7-9 June 2022 – Node Level Performance Optimization @ CSC
22-24 June 2022 – Hybrid programming in HPC – MPI+X @ LRZ

Successful participation in the BonsAPPs AI challenge

Vasil, an Expert at HPC-lab, participated as an AI developer in BonsAPPs’ AI challenge as a part of the AICAD_SC  team.

During this  challenge a so-called AI Asset was developed that can recognize a driver’s  gestures by using a single, cheap and low-resolution thermal camera. This asset was then optimized and deployed to low-power edge platforms such as the NVidia jetson nano.

Vasil also gave a in-person presentation during a two-day hackathon in Bologna, Italy, presenting the team’s results.

AICAD_SC successfully completed stage one of the hackathon, earning a total score 7.37/10.
