LONI High Performance Computing Workshop--University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL)
HPC @ LSU will have a LONI High Performance Computing Workshop to be held in University of Louisiana at Lafayette, on November 25 2008. The workshop will be held in the Auditorium (Room 102) in the Abdalla Hall at the Centre for Business and Information Technologies. The street address of the building is 635 Cajundome Blvd, Lafayette, LA 70506. The map of the ULL campus can be found HERE.The workshop will be an introductory workshop covering overview of LONI and TeraGrid, introduction to LONI HPC environment of Dell Linux machines, introduction to Parallel Computing, introduction to MPI and practical MPI, introduction to programming with OpenMP, debugging and profling of parallel code.
Prerequisites: Programming experience in C or Fortran (All examples will be in C and Fortran), a LONI account, and a laptop.
LONI Account: This workshop will be including hands-on execises on LONI supercomputers, therefore a LONI account is needed for each attendee. If you don't have a LONI account, please request one HERE. You have to put in a valid email address and a link to the account request form will be sent to that email address. You click the link in your email message and you will be directed to the account request form. Please fill that form to request a LONI account (You may put your advisor as your LONI Contact/Collaborator if you are a student, postdoctoral researcher or research associate).
Laptop: This workshop will be including hands-on execises on LONI supercomputers, therefore each participant needs to bring a laptop with SSH or PuTTY installed. If you do not have a laptop, please contact Raju, N. Gottumukkala at raju@louisiana.edu so that he can try his best to provide one for you.
The workshop is full. You are welcome to email Kathy Traxler to be put on a waiting list in case there are any cancellations. Otherwise check back to this training page for future training opportunities.
This training will be a one day workshop introducing the user to High Performance Computing. University of Louisiana at Lafayette will provide lunch and refreshments to all participants. Thanks ULL for the hospitality!
