Intel OneAPI toolchain now available on Nestum

(За български, четете надолу)

On December 8, 2020 Intel Parallel Studio was superseded by the new Intel toolchain – oneAPI.
Starting today, oneAPI (Basic + HPC toolkit) 2022 is available on the Nestum cluster and can be used by first loading the following module:

module load intel/oneapi-2022

This will load all the necessary binaries and libraries in your $PATH (eg. icc, ifort, intel python 3.9 etc.) and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (eg. MKL) environmental variables.
Please note, oneAPI is a major upgrade over the old Intel Parallel Studio XE! There are many new tools such as the icx, icpx compilers for Intel’s C++ superset – Data Parallel C++ (DPC++).
All the “classic” tools from the old PSXE are still available under the same names – icc, ifort, icpc etc.
More information about the new compilers can be found here:

To reduce potential issues, please use the “classic” tools, unless you explicitly need the capabilities of the new ones (e.g. you are trying out DPC++). To cite the first of the above mentioned links:

ICX is a new compiler. It has functional and behavioral differences compared to ICC. You can expect some porting will be needed for existing applications using ICC.

A comprehensive webinar on porting your code to ICX/IFX can be found here: Porting Intel Parallel Studio Code to Intel oneAPI – YouTube


На 8.12.2020 г. Intel Parallel Studio XE беше наследено от oneAPI.
От днес, oneAPI (Basic + HPC toolkit) 2022 е налично на Нестум и модулът може да бъде зараден със следната команда:

module load intel/oneapi-2022

Това ще зареди всички необходими изпълними файлове и библиотеки в променливите на средата: $PATH (напр. icc, ifort, intel python 3.9 и т.н.) и $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (напр. MKL).
Внимание, oneAPI е сериозен ъпгрейд над старото Intel Parallel Studio XE! Този пакет включва много нови инструменти като компилаторите icx, icpx за новото “надмножество” на С++ разработелно от Интел – Data Parallel C++ (DPC++).
Разбира се, всички “класически” инструменти като  icc, ifort, icpc са налични в пакета (и модула).

По подробно с новите компилатори и тулчейни може да се запознаете от статиите (на английски):

С цел минимизиране на потенциални проблеми при компилация, препоръчваме да използвате “класическите” инструменти и компилатори, освен ако експлицитно не се нуждаете от способностите на новите такива (напр. пробвате да компилирате DPC++ код).

EuroHPC Summit Week 2022

The EuroHPC Summit Week (EHPCSW) 2022 will gather the main European HPC stakeholders from technology suppliers and HPC infrastructures to scientific and industrial HPC users in Europe. As in previous years, PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe, co-locates its Scientific and Industrial Conference (PRACEdays22) at the EuroHPC Summit Week 2022. Furthermore, the EHPCSW 2022 will provide a great opportunity for the attendees to network.

Start: 22 March 2022

End: 24 March 2022

Интервю на проф. Пройкова, ръководител на ЛВПИ, за вестник “Дневник”

По-рано тази година списание “Форбс” публикува списък на “50 жени над 50-годишна възраст“, в който беше включена и проф. Пройкова, ръководител на ЛВПИ.

Днес, 6.2.2022 г., беше публикувано и нейно интервю за известния български вестник “Дневник”: Проф. Ана Пройкова, физик: Липсата на достатъчно жени в инженерните дисциплини е сериозен проблем – Интервю – Дневник (dnevnik.bg)

Статията на “Форбс” и интервюто подробно може да прочетете на горните линкове.
