EESSI: Introduction to EESSI – European Environment for Scientific Software Installations
This event organized by EESSI CoE, in collaboration with: NCC Slovenia, NCC Austria together with MultiXscale CoE.
Have you ever wished that all the scientific software you use was available on all the resources you had access to, without having to go through the pain of getting them installed the way you want/need?
The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI – pronounced “easy”) is a common stack of scientific software for HPC systems and beyond, including laptops, personal workstations, and cloud infrastructure. In many ways it works like a streaming service for scientific software, instantly giving you the software you need, when you need it, and compiled to work efficiently for the architecture you have access to.
In this online workshop, we’ll explain what EESSI is, how it is being designed, how to get access to it, and how to use it. We’ll give a number of demonstrations and you can try EESSI out yourself on the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC).
September 23 - 25

A special focus will give to the GPU porting of the code and its forthcoming release. A hands-on session will also take place in order to help the new users to get used to the code structure. While we strongly encourage in-person participation, we will also ensure remote participation through the Webex application.
September 12 - 13
ESiWACE3: GPU optimization with Kernel Tuner
The National Competence Center for HPC in Austria is organizing this 2 half-day training together with ESiWACE3, the Centre of Excellence in simulation of weather and climate in Europe. With expertise in earth system modelling, software design, and high-performance computing, ESiWACE3 is supporting scientists on the path to exascale computing.
This training is about Kernel Tuner, a tool for automatic optimization of GPU code, developed by a team from ESiWACE3. As a new development, Kernel Tuner adds support for mixed precision and tuning accuracy, which comes in addition to the existing functionality of tuning parameters and code optimizations for compute performance and/or energy efficiency. The first day of the training will focus on getting to know the tool, where as the second day is all about (energy) efficient computing on GPUs.
September 4 - 6
POP3: Profiling and Optimisation Tools
The POP3 CoE, NCC Austria, NCC Czechia, NCC Hungary, NCC Poland, NCC Slovakia and NCC Slovenia are inviting you to the POP3 Profiling and Optimisation Tools Workshop.
This workshop focuses on tools and methodologies for performance analysis, debugging, and tuning through collaborative learning, particularly for teams working on similar codes.
The first day of the workshop introduces participants to the POP Centre of Excellence (CoE), detailing its services, methodology, and tools for performance assessments and second-level services. On the second day, the focus shifts to getting started with open-source multi-platform tools for analysing MPI+OpenMP application executions on CPU architectures. The third day delves into more advanced usage, including analysing application executions on combined CPU and GPU architectures. During this hands-on workshop, participants will be introduced to the use of Paraver/Extrae and Scalasca/Score-P/CUBE toolsets for CPUs and GPUs.

ChEESE: Tsunami and Meteo-Tsunami Modelling
ChEESE Tsunami and Meteo-Tsunami Modelling Training Course aims to provide the participants with the knowledge and numerical tools required to perform the mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of tsunamis and meteo-tsunamis. A brief theoretical overview on the processes and mechanisms producing this kind of natural events will be first provided. Then, the European flagship code, Tsunami-HySEA, will be used to simulate various tsunami and meteo-tsunami events. Tsunami-HySEA solves the 2D shallow water equations on hydrostatic and dispersive versions. Based on a high-order Finite Volume (FV) discretisation (hydrostatic) with Finite Differences (FD) for the dispersive version on two-way structured nested meshes in spherical coordinates. Meteo-HySEA is a version of Tsunami-HySEA code able to include meteorological forcing (atmospheric pressure and wind stress) as input, more precisely as boundary conditions.
The training course will include an introduction to tsunami and meteo-tsunami modelling, the basics of the numerical code used and the required data. The course will also tackle pre-process and post-process strategies based on Python scripts.
Requirements:
Attendees can only download, make and retain a copy of the materials for their use for non‐commercial and research purposes. The User may not commercially use the material unless has been granted prior written consent by the Licensor.

Machine learning prototype for SPACE applications
This course organized by SPACE, in collaboration with: NCC Czechia, NCC Austria, UNITO, CNRS-CRAL, INAF, LMU, and UiO
The objective of this webinar is to present the prototype of a machine learning tool to enable the exploration, analysis, and interpretation of the outputs of large-volume cosmological simulations using Representation Learning techniques. The tool efficiently learns a low-dimensional representation of the structure of simulated galaxies in arbitrary physical components, uncovering their intrinsic structural distribution. It also provides an interactive hierarchical visualization of the entire simulation and its compact representation, and scales to arbitrarily large simulations beyond the Exascale era.
