The commissioning of the new Blue Gene/Q petaflop supercomputer JUQUEEN marked another quantum leap in supercomputer performance at JSC. At the same time, it was recognised that special efforts by the users are necessary in order to get the most out of this unique research tool.
The aim of this hands-on workshop is to support current users of JUQUEEN in porting their software, in analysing its performance, and in improving its efficiency.
It is highly recommended that project PIs send at least one expert on their code to this workshop.
Participants should belong to a currently active simulation project on JUQUEEN (project-ID!) and should already have an active user account (user-id!). Test runs during the workshop will be done on the participants' own project accounts.
In order to gain maximum benefit from this workshop, participants should have an in-depth (hands-on) knowledge of the algorithms and codes used in their project.
In addition, we also ask participants to prepare a test case to evaluate the initial performance of their code and to monitor the progress.
