The CSC Summer School in High-Performance Computing

The legendary The CSC Summer School in High Performance Computing is doing a comeback this summer in collaboration with EuroCC.

The event will take place in 26.6.2022 – 5.7.2022.

The school is aimed for graduate students working in various fields of science, e.g., chemistry, physics, life sciences, engineering or economics as well as Industrial R&D professionals. Also undergraduates as well as post-docs will find the school very useful.The ten days of school are filled with coding, sports, leisure activities and having good time together. It will be an experience you will never forget with the midnight sun in the Nordic night next to breathtaking wilderness!

The following topics will be covered: 

  • Basics of parallel programming using message-passing (MPI) and threading (OpenMP) paradigms
  • Programming GPUs with OpenMP and HIP
  • Efficient input/output using parallel I/O
  • More advanced topics in MPI
  • Hybrid parallel programming combining MPI, OpenMP, HIP
  • Building real-world HPC applications.

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.

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.

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.

The main organisers of the EHPCSW 2022 are the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE), and the European Technology Platform for High-Performance Computing (ETP4HPC). The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the European Commission (EC) are also involved in the organisation of the conference. The logistical organisation is supported by a local host: for the 2022 edition, this will be GENCI (Grand équipement national de calcul intensif).
