CUDA Multithreading with Streams, July 16, 2021
IntroductionNVIDIA will present “CUDA Multithreading with Streams” to OLCF and NERSC users on Friday, July 16, 2021. This event is a continuation of the CUDA Training Series.CUDA Streams are a useful way to achieve concurrency and ensure that an application is fully utilizing the GPU. However, many GPU-accelerated applications start off as multi-threaded CPU applications. In this module, we will explore the combination of GPU concurrency and a multi-threaded context, such as an OpenMP… Read More »
Introduction to CI at NERSC, July 7, 2021
IntroductionContinuous Integration (CI) is an increasingly popular best-practice in the field of scientific code development. Incorporating CI into the workflow allows multiple developers to work on the same project code base with minimal conflict. This is achieved by making the changes to the source code in relatively small increments and running automated tests for them. GitLab offers an in-built mechanism for CI through its 'runner' tool. The runner automates the process of compiling,… Read More »
Lmod User Training, June 22, 2021
Date and Time: 10-12pm PST, Tuesday, June 22, 2021Lmod is a Lua based module system that is a new implementation of environment-modules that supports both TCL and Lua modules. Environment Modules provide a convenient way to dynamically change users' environment (PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) through modulefiles by using the module command. Lmod and environment-modules expose the module command that provides a very similar command line interface however there are many differences between the tools… Read More »

User Training on Checkpointing and Restarting VASP Jobs Using MANA on May 25, 2021
NERSC will host an online hands-on user training for VASP users on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 from 10:00am-12:00am PDT. The training is to help VASP users to checkpoint/restart VASP jobs using MANA, a transparent checkpointing tool. Benefits of using MANA include the capability of running a job of any length on Cori with checkpoint/restart, the potential for improved job throughput, and the ability to realize a 75% charging discount by running in the Flex queue.The training will start with a… Read More »
User training on MANA, a transparent checkpointing tool, on May 7, 2021
NERSC will host an online hands-on user training on MANA, a transparent checkpointing tool, on Friday, May 7, 2021 from 10:00am-11:30am PDT. The training will start with a 30-minute presentation, followed by a one-hour hands-on session. MANA is an MPI-Agnostic and Network-Agnostic transparent checkpointing tool, requiring no modifications to user codes. The benefits of using MANA include improved job throughput, a 75% charging discount, and the capability of running jobs with any length on… Read More »
