This workshop organised by VI-HPS and CASTIEL2 WP3, in collaboration with POP CoE, will:
- give an overview of the VI-HPS programming tools suite
- present tools & methodology of Performance Optimisation & Productivity (POP) Centre of Excellence
- explain the functionality of individual tools, and how to use them effectively
- offer hands-on experience and expert assistance using the tools
- tune and scale up HPC applications on leading CPU/GPU hardware
On completion participants should be familiar with common performance analysis and diagnosis techniques and how they can be employed in practice (on a range of HPC systems). Those who prepared their own application test cases will have been coached in the tuning of their measurement and analysis, and provided optimization suggestions.
Programme Overview
Presentations and hands-on sessions are planned on the following topics:
- MAQAO performance analysis & optimisation
- TALP lightweight runtime performance monitoring tool
- Paraver/Extrae/Dimemas trace analysis and performance prediction
- Score-P instrumentation and measurement

- Scalasca automated trace analysis
- ... and showcase presentations/demonstrations of other tools and POP services
Registration of individuals (ideally in teams of up to 3) and a corresponding code technical questionaire are mandatory. (Prior use of MN5 is highly recommended.)
Pre-required logistics
At least one member of each team of application developers should be on-site each day of the workshop.
