Currently\, the majority of HPC computing power available to researchers and engineers is provided by GPUs or other types of accelerators. Programming GPUs and other accelerators is thus increasingly important to developers who write software that is executed on HPC systems. \n\n\n\nThe landscape of GPU hardware\, software\, and programming environments is complicated. Multiple vendors compete in the high-end GPU market\, each vendor provides their own software stack and development toolkits\, and even beyond that\, there is a proliferation of tools\, languages\, and frameworks that can be used to write code for GPUs.

Participants will put their new knowledge to the test on the Leonardo EuroHPC JU supercomputer (https://leonardo-supercomputer.cineca.eu/hpc-system/) with theory sections and practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises. \n\n\n\nIn recent years\, computing technologies underlying materials modelling and electronic structure calculation have evolved rapidly. High-performance computing (HPC) is transitioning from petascale to exascale\, while individual compute nodes are increasingly based on heterogeneous architectures that every year become more diversified due to different vendor choices. In this environment\, electronic structure codes also have to evolve fast in order to adapt to new hardware facilities. \n\n\n\nNowadays\, state-of-the-art electronic structure codes based on modern density functional theory (DFT) methods allow treating realistic molecular systems with a very high accuracy. However\, due to the increased complexity of the codes\, users need some extra skills in order to fully exploit their potential. \n\n\n\nThe applications\n\n\n\nQUANTUM ESPRESSO (https://www.quantum-espresso.org/) is one of the most popular suites of computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modelling at the nanoscale\, based on density-functional theory\, plane waves\, and pseudopotentials. It is able to predict and give fundamental insights about many properties of materials\, molecular systems\, micro and nanodevices\, biological systems\, in many fields\, providing a huge amount of data for data-driven science applications. \n\n\n\nSIESTA (http://www.max-centre.eu/codes-max/siesta) is a pseudopotential-based DFT software whose strength lies in its use of atomic-like strictly-localised basis sets: the use of a “good first approximation” to the full problem decreases the number of basis functions needed to achieve a given accuracy\, and the finite support of the orbitals leads to sparsity in the Hamiltonian and overlap matrices\, thus enabling the use of reduced-scaling methods. The functionalities of SIESTA include\, amongst others\, the calculation of energies and forces\, molecular-dynamics simulations\, band structures\, densities of states\, spin-orbit couplings\, van der Waals functionals\, DFT+U for correlated systems\, real-time TDDFT\, and non-equilibrium calculations with TranSIESTA. \n\n\n\nYAMBO (http://www.yambo-code.eu/) is an open-source code implementing first-principles methods based on Green’s function (GF) theory to describe excited-state properties of realistic materials. These methods include the GW approximation\, the Bethe Salpeter equation\, nonequilibrium GF (NEGF) and TDDFT\, allowing for the prediction of accurate quasiparticle energies (e.g. ARPES band structures)\, linear and non-linear optical properties\, capturing the physics of excitons\, plasmons\, and magnons. It is also possible to calculate temperature-dependent electronic and optical properties via electron-phonon coupling and nonequilibrium and non-linear optical properties via NEGF real-time simulations (pump-probe experiments\, etc). \n\n\n\nWhat you will learn\n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, participants will learn how to launch the most common types of calculations (e.g. scf\, phonons\, quasi-particle energies\, time-dependent properties) using Quantum ESPRESSO\, Yambo and SIESTA\, how to prepare input files and how to read output files in order to extract the desired properties. \n\n\n\nYou will discuss efficient exploitation of HPC resources\, with particular emphasis on how to use the different schemes of data distribution (e.g. plane waves\, pools\, images) in combination with the different parallelization and acceleration schemes (MPI\, OpenMP\, GPU-offload) available in Quantum ESPRESSO\, SIESTA and Yambo. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\nThis workshop is for researchers and engineers who already have some previous experience with materials modelling and electronic structure calculations: \n\n\n\n\nBasic familiarity with density functional theory (DFT)\, self-consistent field (SCF) calculations and plane wave basis sets is desirable as the workshop will not cover the fundamental theory of these topics.\n\n\n\nBasic familiarity with working in a Linux environment and some experience with working on an HPC system is needed to participate in the hands-on exercises.\n\n\n\n\nDisclaimer\n\n\n\nDue to EuroCC2 regulations\, we cannot except generic or private email addresses.

This workshop includes: \n\n\n\n\nrunning simulations at scale\n\n\n\nbenchmarking for deploying Vlasiator on supercomputing environments\n\n\n\ndesigning a simulation setup\, with notes on applicability and resources required\n\n\n\nAccessing the .vlsv data via Analysator\n\n\n\nAccessing the .vlsv data via the VisIt plugin\n\n\n\n\nThe theoretical description of plasma using analytic modeling tools is somewhat limited and great progress in plasma physics has been achieved using computer simulations. Indeed\, advances in massively parallel simulations using high performance computing (HPC) resources have have further boosted our understanding of plasma science at an unprecedented resolutions and levels of physical fidelity. These simulations have been producing a new wealth of knowledge and enabling key applications for science\, industry\, and society. \n\n\n\nPlasma simulations with Vlasiator\n\n\n\nVlasiator (GitHub)\, is the state-of-the-art hybrid-Vlasov simulation for ion-scale physics in a global magnetospheric setting. It is the only 6D hybrid-Vlasov code capable of simulating the Earth’s magnetosphere. In Vlasiator\, ions are represented as velocity distribution functions\, while electrons are magnetohydrodynamic fluid\, enabling a self-consistent global plasma simulation that can describe multi-temperature plasmas to resolve non-MHD processes that currently cannot be self-consistently described by the existing global space weather simulations. The novelty is that by modelling ions as velocity distribution functions the outcome will be numerically noiseless. Due to the multi-dimensional approach at ion scales\, Vlasiator’s computational challenges are immense.

In coming years\, quantum computing is expected to have a significant impact on many areas of research that can utilise computational modelling.  \n\n\n\nSignificant efforts and investments are currently underway in Europe to bolster skills and capacity within quantum computing\, as outlined in a recent ENCCS blog post (https://enccs.se/news/2023/06/european-hpc-quantum-computing-infrastructure/). \n\n\n\nAs a further step in that direction\, ENCCS is now again joining forces with the Wallenberg Centre of Quantum Technologies (WACQT) and the Nordic/Baltic NordIQuEst project to deliver a three-day autumn school covering the fundamentals of quantum computing.  \n\n\n\nWACQT is a national research programme\, coordinated from Chalmers\, that aims to take Swedish research and industry to the forefront of quantum technology. Their main project is to develop a high-end quantum computer that can solve problems far beyond the reach of the best conventional supercomputers. \n\n\n\nNordΙQuEst brings together a consortium of seven partners from five Nordic and Baltic countries to connect world leading traditional HPC resources and quantum computers across national borders with the aim to establish a quantum computing platform customised to the needs of the region. \n\n\n\nIn addition to WACQT and NordIQuEst\, the school will also be visited by and contributed to by experts from Algorithmiq\, a Finnish startup which aims to revolutionise life sciences by exploiting the potential of quantum computing to solve currently inaccessible problems. \n\n\n\nThe school will cover:  \n\n\n\n\nIntroduction to key concepts: quantum states\, qubits\, quantum algorithms\n\n\n\nOverview of the main QC hardware approaches. \n\n\n\nOverview of the QC software stack.\n\n\n\nIntegration of QC with classical computing: hybrid classical/quantum algorithms and HPC-QC systems. \n\n\n\nQC programming in high-level languages for use cases in optimisation\, finance\, life science and quantum chemistry.\n\n\n\n\nMorning lectures will be combined with afternoon hands-on sessions where participants learn to use high-level QC programming languages. \n\n\n\nParticipants in the school will be given direct access to Helmi\, a 5-qubit quantum computer using superconducting qubits that is connected to LUMI\, the most powerful supercomputer in Europe. \n\n\n\nFormat\n\n\n\nOn-site participants will be treated to social and networking events and a guided tour to see the QAL9000 quantum computer at Chalmers University of Technology. However\, seminars and hands-on sessions will also be broadcast live for online participants who will be able to participate actively in the school through live Q&A and chat.  \n\n\n\nThe autumn school will provide lunch and coffee every day\, and dinner on Thursday evening. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\nFor the hands-on training sessions\, basic familiarity with Python and some experience working in a Unix environment are desirable. No previous experience with quantum computers expected. \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n[ninja_tables id=”27159″] \n\n\n\nHow to find us\n\n\n\nThe main attendance mode of the autumn school will be on-site in room Decibel at the Lindholmen Conference Centre\, Lindholmspiren 5\, 417 56 Göteborg.

DESCRIPTION:This is a two day online course given on Friday 9th and Monday 12th of June. \n\n\n\nOn June 16 there will additionally be an optional mini-hackathon event where you are invited to bring your own code\, that you want to port to GPUs\, and get expert help from mentors. \n\n\n\nGraphical processing units (GPUs) are the workhorse of many high performance computing (HPC) systems around the world. The number of GPU-enabled supercomputers on the Top500 has been steadily increasing in recent years and this development is expected to continue. In the near future the majority of HPC computing power available to researchers and engineers is likely to be provided by GPUs or other types of accelerators. Programming GPUs and other accelerators is thus increasingly important to developers who write software which is executed on HPC systems. \n\n\n\nHowever\, the landscape of GPU hardware\, software and programming environments is complicated. Multiple vendors compete in the high-end GPU market\, each vendor provides their own software stack and development toolkits\, and even beyond that there is a proliferation of tools\, languages and frameworks that can be used to write code for GPUs. It can thus be difficult for individual developers and project owners to know how to navigate this landscape and select the most appropriate GPU programming framework for their projects based on the requirements of a given project and technical specifics of any existing code. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is based on a multilateral collaboration between GPU programming specialists from KTH in Sweden\, HPC2N in Umeå\, CSC in Finland\, NRIS in Norway\, Aarhus University in Denmark\, Vilnius University in Lithuania\, Aalto University in Finland\, and ENCCS. It is meant to help both software developers and decision makers navigate the GPU programming landscape and make more informed decisions on which languages or frameworks to learn and use for their projects. \n\n\n\nAim of the workshop\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand why and when to use GPUs.\n\n\n\nBecome comfortable with key concepts in GPU programming.\n\n\n\nAcquire a comprehensive overview of different software frameworks\, what levels they operate at\, and which to use when.\n\n\n\nLearn the fundamentals in at least one framework to a level which will enable you to quickly become a productive GPU programmer.\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\nThis workshop is most relevant to researchers and engineers who already develop software which runs on CPUs in workstations or supercomputers\, but also to decision makers or project managers who don’t write code but make strategic decisions in software projects\, whether it’s in academia\, industry or the public sector. \n\n\n\nFamiliarity with one or more programming languages like C/C++\, Fortran\, Python or Julia is recommended. \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\nFriday 9 June 2023 \n\n\n\n[ninja_tables id=”25486″]\n\n\n\nMonday 12 June 2023 \n\n\n\n[ninja_tables id=”25487″]\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nRegistrations are now closed. \n\n\n\nDeadline: 26 May 2023 \n\n\n\nMini-hackathon on June 16\n\n\n\nAs a follow-up to the training workshop on June 9 and 12\, you have the option to attend an online “mini-hackathon” on June 16 from 9:00-15:00.
