ARCHER2 ExCALIBUR Webinar: an algorithmic approach to exascale design

Wednesday 10th June 2020 11:00 - 12:00 BST

Richard Gunn and Jeremy Yates

Abstract: The ExCALIBUR (Exascale Computing Algorithms and Infrastructures Benefitting UK Research) is a £45.7m Strategic Priorities Fund (SPF) programme led by the Met Office, UKAEA and UK Research and Innovation to deliver research and innovative algorithmic development to harness the power of exascale HPC. ExCALIBUR will be delivered over five years through a suite of complementary activities delivered by UK Research and Innovation, the Met Office and UKAEA: a knowledge integration activity; activities to address high priority use cases; supporting emerging requirements for high-performance algorithms; cross-cutting research; and proof-of-concept hardware –(the Hardware and Enabling Software Programme).

This online session is open to all.

HPC Carpentry

David Henty (EPCC), Juan Herrera (EPCC)

29 - 30 June 2020

This course introduces accessing remote advanced computing facilities via the command line and High Performance Computing (HPC). After completing this course, participants will:

  • Understand motivations for using HPC in research.
  • Understand how HPC systems are put together to achieve performance and how they differ from desktops/laptops.
  • Know how to connect to remote HPC systems and transfer data.
  • Be able to use the Bash command line on remote systems.
  • Know how to use a scheduler to work on a shared system.
  • Be able to use software modules to access different HPC software.
  • Be able to work effectively on a remote shared resource.

Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for this workshop.
