Arm debugging and profiling tools tutorial, June 25, 2020
NERSC is hosting a half-day training event for debugging and profiling parallel codes with Arm (previously Allinea) tools on Thursday, June 25, 2020. We will teach and demonstrate how to use Arm's tools: Arm Forge, an integrated environment for debugging (DDT) and profiling (MAP) parallel codes. We will illustrate how Arm DDT can debug applications ranging from a single thread to large scale codes. We will illustrate how you can use Arm MAP to understand the nature of your application's… Read More »
Loop Optimizations with OpenACC -- Part 3 of 3 OpenACC Training Series, June 23, 2020
Introduction OpenACC is a directive-based approach to parallel programming for heterogeneous architectures, where developers specify regions of code (written in C, C++, and Fortran) to be offloaded from a host CPU to a GPU. This approach is meant to reduce the amount of programming effort required of developers relative to low-level models, such as CUDA. NVIDIA will present a 3-part OpenACC training series intended to help new and existing GPU programmers learn to use the OpenACC API. Each… Read More »

Variable-time Jobs Online Hands-On User Training, May 21, 2020
NERSC will host a 2-hour online hands-on user training on variable-time jobs Thursday May 21, 2020, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm Pacific time. Variable-time jobs can greatly improve your queue turnaround by automatically exploiting opportunities for backfill in Slurm, provided your applications can do checkpoint and restart on their own or via an external checkpointing tool (e.g., DMTCP). The training begins with a 30 minute presentation, followed by a 1.5-hour hands-on session. Please… Read More »

SpinUp: Apr 2020
Spin is a new Containers-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform at NERSC based on Docker container technology. It can be used to deploy web sites and science gateways, workflow managers, databases and key-value stores, and all sorts of network services that can access NERSC systems and storage on the back end. Spin is currently in a pilot phase as the NERSC Infrastructure Services Group (ISG) refines the underlying systems and tools. See the videos and other information below to learn more about its… Read More »
