Full day training on optimizing your application for Cori Phase 2 including a significant hands-on time with your own applications.
Attendees will learn about the Cray Performance Tools available for identifying performance bottlenecks and optimization opportunities within an HPC program. This session includes training on how to collect application performance information, tips on interpreting data in reports, and where to focus optimization efforts. The training will include how to identify performance bottlenecks such as load imbalance. Attendees will also learn how to use Reveal to identify and parallelize performance critical loops within a program.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is a multidisciplinary national laboratory located in Berkeley, California on a hillside directly above the campus of the University of California at Berkeley. The site consists of 76 buildings located on 183 acres, which overlook both the campus and the San Francisco Bay. »More Visitor Information.
Site Access
All non-LBNL participants must register to obtain a visitor bus pass or parking pass in advance. We recommend carpooling, shuttle and taxi.
Please fill out the following form to request site access:

Check-in with Security and picture ID is required. LBNL Security requires the names, citizenship and country of birth of all visitors. If you have questions, please contact Norma Early.
The Blackberry Canyon entrance is closest to Wang Hall. The shuttle buses stop at the 65 building or main shuttle bus stop (across the street from Wang Hall).
Parking
Parking at LBNL is limited due to a number of construction projects. We recommend car pooling, LBNL shuttle, or taxi. If you drive, a parking space may be reserved. For those visitors who plan to drive to LBNL, we will reserve general parking near Wang Hall.
Shuttle Information
There is an LBNL shuttle bus from various locations around the City of Berkeley, including near the Downtown Berkeley BART station. If you plan to take the LBNL shuttle, you are required to have an LBNL Visitor Bus Pass (requires advance notice) and picture ID to show the bus driver.
Bay Area Rapid Transit Train (BART)
The Downtown Berkeley BART station is two short blocks from the LBNL shuttle line on the corner of Addison and Shuttuck. The LBNL Blue Shuttle Bus will take you to the Blackberry Canyon entrance and the CRT Building. The CRT building is across the street from LBNL's main bus stop. »BART Web site
