SUMMARY:Build Systems Course and Hackathon (online)
DESCRIPTION:DatesOnline course: 8-11 October 2024\, 08:50-12:00Hackathon: 15-17 October 2024\, 10:00-16:00 at RISE offices at KTH campus\, Drottning Kristinas väg 61 \n\n\n\nEmpowering Developers with the Build Systems Course and Hackathon\n\n\n\nJoin us at the Systems Build course and hackathon event designed to equip you with the tools and expertise needed to harness the full potential of modern computing architectures. The event consists of two parts: an online course and an in-person hackathon\, allowing participants to choose their preferred format or both. \n\n\n\nUnlocking Extreme Computing Power\n\n\n\nThe rapid evolution of computer hardware has given rise to heterogeneous architectures that combine the processing capabilities of CPUs\, GPUs\, and high-speed network interconnects. While this offers unparalleled computing power\, it also presents a challenge for developers and users of scientific software.  \n\n\n\nPart I: Online Course (4 half days\, Oct 8-11\, 2024)\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction to Compilers\, Linkers\, and Libraries: Master the fundamentals of building and installing programs and libraries on modern personal computers.\n\n\n\nGNU Make and Autotools: Learn how to use these essential tools for automating build processes.\n\n\n\nCMake Build System: Discover the capabilities of this popular build system and its applications in scientific software development.\n\n\n\nSpack Build System: Explore the features and benefits of Spack\, a powerful tool for building and installing scientific software.\n\n\n\nEasyBuild Build System: Understand how to utilize EasyBuild for efficient installation and management of software dependencies.\n\n\n\nSingularityCE / Apptainer: Get hands-on experience with these containerization tools and their applications in scientific computing.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for the online course\n\n\n\n\nPart II: In-Person Hackathon (3 full days\, Oct 15-17\, 2024)\n\n\n\nJoin us at the KTH campus in Stockholm\, Sweden\, for an immersive hackathon experience. Teams will work on transferring their own code to different computers using build systems like CMake\, Spack\, and containers. \n\n\n\nTeams Application and Selection\n\n\n\nWe invite teams (1-5 members) working on open-source scientific codes to apply for participation in the hackathon. We’ll select up to 8 teams based on their submitted applications\, giving preference to those with a strong focus on open-source software development. \n\n\n\nTo participate in the hackathon\, please submit an application that includes: \n\n\n\n\nDesired Code Extension: Explain how you’d like to extend the functionality of your code using modern build systems.\n\n\n\nCode Distribution: Describe how your code is currently distributed and managed.\n\n\n\nLicense: Share information about the license governing your code.\n\n\n\nCurrent Build and Installation Process: Outline the steps involved in building and installing your code.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for the hackathon\n\n\n\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to learn from experts\, collaborate with peers\, and unlock the full potential of modern computing architectures.

SUMMARY:GPU programming using Python - A practical intro webinar
DESCRIPTION:Registrations are closed for this event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the webinar\n\n\n\nIn the past decade\, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have ignited the dynamic evolution of data science. But GPUs can do a lot more than machine learning – these powerful devices can accelerate and massively parallelise any general-purpose computational load in domains involving big data and heavy number crunching. You can use the GPU in your personal computer\, or scale up your application to run on a supercomputer. How can you get started? \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we focus on GPU-accelerated computing with Python\, one of the most popular programming languages for science\, engineering\, data analytics\, and deep learning applications. Starting from familiar Python libraries such as Numpy and Pandas\, we will guide you step-by-step into the world of GPU programming. Discover how to harness the power of GPU accelerators using libraries such as CuPy\, cuDF\, PyCUDA\, Jax\, and Numba\, with a focus on their unique features and capabilities for high-performance computing. \n\n\n\nWho is the webinar for?\n\n\n\nThe GPU programming using Python webinar is for data scientists\, software developers and researchers who want to start using GPUs to accelerate their computational workflows. \n\n\n\nKey takeaways\n\n\n\nAfter attending this seminar\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nget started with GPUs in Python using high-level libraries\n\n\n\nfamiliarise yourself with the multiple vendors that compete with different software stacks\, toolkits\, and frameworks\n\n\n\nmake informed decisions about your GPU workflows\n\n\n\n\nLesson material\n\n\n\nThe ENCCS Practical Intro webinar series aims to provide concise and condensed introductions to key topics in high-performance computing and related technologies.
