Performance Portability Training Series: 2023 - 2024

This series, offered by OLCF, NERSC, and ALCF, features training sessions on various performance portable programming solutions to help ease developer transitions between current and emerging high-performance computing (HPC) systems.

Overview

For large-scale simulation, the portability of a codebase is becoming more important due to the variety of architectures being introduced in current and emerging high performance computing (HPC) systems. For example, the NERSC Perlmutter, OLCF Frontier, and ALCF Aurora featuring NVIDIA-, AMD-, and Intel-based GPUs, respectively. Performance portable programming solutions have emerged to help ease developer transitions between such systems. Such solutions, for example, use a single interface to interact with multiple underlying programming models (e.g., CUDA, HIP, OpenMP, etc.). This training series aims to inform users on currently available performance portable programming solutions.
