31st VI-HPS Tuning Workshop (UTK-ICL, Knoxville/TN, USA)
Date
Tuesday 9th - Friday 12th April 2019
Location
The workshop will take place at the Innovative Computing Laboratory (ICL) at the University of Tennessee (UTK), Claxton Building, Suite 206, 1122 Volunteer Blvd, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA.
Goals
This workshop organized by VI-HPS will:
- give an overview of the VI-HPS programming tools suite
- explain the functionality of individual tools, and how to use them effectively
- offer hands-on experience and expert assistance using the tools
Programme Overview
Presentations and hands-on sessions are planned on the following topics:
- TAU performance system
- Score-P instrumentation and measurement infrastructure
- Scalasca automated trace analysis toolset
- Vampir interactive trace analysis toolset
- MAQAO binary analysis & optimization tool
- MAP+PR profiling and performance reports
- Paraver trace analysis tool
- Dimemas performance prediction tool
- ... and probably others
A brief overview of the capabilities of these and associated tools is provided in the VI-HPS Tools Guide.
The workshop will run from 09:00 to not later than 18:00 each day, with breaks for provided lunch and refreshments. Breakfast will also be offered from 08:00 to 09:00 each morning. Participants are encouraged to prepare their own MPI, OpenMP and hybrid MPI+OpenMP parallel application codes for analysis.

Hardware and Software Platforms
Stampede2: 4,200 Intel Xeon Phi 7250 ("Knights Landing") 1.4 GHz 68-core processors with 4-way SMT and 96 GB DDR4 plus 16 GB high-speed MCDRAM per node; 1,736 dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 ("Skylake") 2.1 GHz 24-core processors with 2-way SMT and 192 GB DDR4 RAM per node; Intel Omni-Path network, Lustre parallel filesystem; Intel MPI and MVAPICH2, Intel and GCC compilers.
Stampede2 is the primary platform for the workshop. Course accounts will be provided during the workshop to participants. Other systems where up-to-date versions of the tools are installed can also be used when preferred, though support may be limited and participants are expected to already possess user accounts. Regardless of whichever systems they intend to use, participants should be familiar with the relevant procedures for compiling and running their parallel applications (via batch queues where appropriate).
Participants are expected to bring and use their own notebook computers with SSH and X11 software configured to connect to the HPC systems and run interactive graphical tools.
Registration
Workshop registration is required by 2nd April 2019 via the local registration site.
Blocks of rooms have been reserved for workshop participants, with special rates available until 25th March or until the group block is sold-out (whichever comes first).
