SUMMARY:Advanced Deep Learning with Transformers
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Transformers have led to numerous breakthrough achievements in a variety of fields such as Natural Language Processing (NLP)\, chemistry\, and physics. By doing away with the need for fixed-size inputs\, these architectures significantly extend the scope of problems to which deep learning can be applied. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will take you from the representation of graphs and finite sets as inputs for neural networks to the implementation of full GNNs for a variety of tasks. You will learn about the central concepts used in GNNs in a hands-on setting using Jupyter Notebooks and a series of coding exercises. While the workshop will use problems from the field of chemistry as an example for applications\, the skills you learn can be transferred to any domain where finite set or graph-based representations of data are appropriate. From GNNs\, we will make the leap to Transformer architectures\, and explain the conceptual ties between the two. \n\n\n\nThe workshop is free of charge and will be conducted entirely online using zoom. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\nTo successfully participate in this workshop\, you should have a good understanding of linear algebra and core concepts of deep learning such as CNNs\, stochastic gradient descent\, and supervised learning. You should also be familiar with the implementation of neural networks using PyTorch. A basic conceptual understanding of mathematical graphs is recommended but not a prerequisite. \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\nTo be announced soon. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nThis event is fully booked. \n\n\n\nFollow our Events Schedule\n\n\n\nFollow us on Twitter and subscribe to our Newsletter to stay tuned to our events and other news. \n\n\n\n———— \n\n\n\nThis training is intended for users established in the European Union or a country associated with Horizon 2020.

SUMMARY:GPU Programming: Why\, When and How?
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. If you have a code that you would like to port to GPUs with the skills you learned during the workshop\, you are invited to attend the mini-hackathon and get help from experts. To register for the mini-hackathon please additionally fill out the registration form at https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/1502/registrations/1102/ \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nContact\n\n\n\nFor any questions contact us at training@enccs.se \n\n\n\n———— \n\n\n\nThis training is intended for users established in the European Union or a country associated with Horizon 2020.

SUMMARY:High Performance Data Analytics in Python
DESCRIPTION:Python is an industry-standard programming language for working with data on all levels of the data analytics pipeline\, thanks to the rich ecosystem of libraries ranging from generic numerical libraries to special-purpose and/or domain-specific packages which are often supported by large developer communities and stable funding sources. \n\n\n\nThis online workshop is meant to give an overview of working with research data in Python using general libraries for storing\, processing\, analysing and sharing data. The focus is on improving performance. After covering tools for performant processing (netcdf\, numpy\, pandas\, scipy) on single workstations the focus shifts to parallel\, distributed and GPU computing (snakemake\, numba\, dask\, multiprocessing\, mpi4py). \n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\n\nBasic experience with Python\n\n\n\nBasic experience in working in a Linux-like terminal\n\n\n\nSome prior experience in working with large or small datasets\n\n\n\n\nPreliminary Agenda\n\n\n\nTo be updated soon. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nRegistrations are now closed for this event. \n\n\n\n—-  \n\n\n\nDisclaimer\n\n\n\nThis training is intended for users established in the European Union or a country associated with Horizon 2020.

SUMMARY:Julia for High Performance Data Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Julia is a modern high-level programming language that is fast (on par with traditional HPC languages like Fortran and C) and relatively easy to write like Python or Matlab. It thus solves the “two-language problem”\, i.e. when prototype code in a high-level language needs to be combined with or rewritten in a lower-level language to improve performance. \n\n\n\nAlthough Julia is a general-purpose language\, many of its features are particularly useful for numerical scientific computation\, and a wide range of both domain-specific and general libraries are available for statistics\, machine learning and numerical modelling. \n\n\n\nThis online workshop will start by briefly covering the basics of Julia’s syntax and features\, and then introduce methods and libraries which are useful for writing high-performance code for modern HPC systems. After attending the workshop\, you will: \n\n\n\n\nBe comfortable with Julia’s syntax\, in-built package manager\, and development tools.\n\n\n\nUnderstand core language features like its type system\, multiple dispatch\, and composability.\n\n\n\nBe able to write your own Julia packages from scratch.\n\n\n\nKnow how to perform various linear algebra analysis on datasets.\n\n\n\nBe productive in analysing and visualising large datasets in Julia using dataframes and visualisation packages.\n\n\n\nBe familiar with several Julia libraries for visualisation and machine learning.\n\n\n\nUnderstand how to analyse large datasets efficiently in Julia using statistical methods.\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\n\nExperience in one or more programming languages.\n\n\n\nFamiliarity with basic concepts in linear algebra and machine learning.\n\n\n\nBasic experience with working in a terminal is also beneficial. \n\n\n\nParticipants are expected to install Julia\, VSCode and Zoom before the workshop starts\n\n\n\n\nTentative agenda\n\n\n\nDay 1  \n\n\n\nIntroduction to Julia syntax and features. \n\n\n\nDay 2 \n\n\n\nJulia for data analysis\, data frames\, visualization\, various data formats\, read/write data\, missing data. \n\n\n\nLinear algebra\, array matrix and vector operations\, performance comparisons\, random matrices\, sparse matrices\, eigenvalues/eigenvectors and PCA. \n\n\n\nDay 3 \n\n\n\nClustering\, classification\, machine learning\, deep learning.  \n\n\n\nDay 4 \n\n\n\nRegression\, time series analysis and prediction. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nRegistrations are now closed. \n\n\n\nDisclaimer\n\n\n\nThis training is intended for users established in the European Union or a country associated with Horizon 2020.

SUMMARY:Quantum Autumn School
DESCRIPTION:Registrations closed\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecent developments in quantum computing are bringing the world closer to a new technological revolution – the advent of usable quantum computers able to provide enormous acceleration to important computational tasks. 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. The nearest bus stop is Lindholmen. \n\n\n\nFrom the Göteborg Central Station (Bus stop Göteborg Nordstan) you can take for example buses 16\, 21\, or X1 to bus stop Lindholmen.  \n\n\n\nAccommodation\n\n\n\nAccommodation will NOT be provided by the autumn school.

SUMMARY:[Webinar] Practical intro to GPU programming in Python and Julia
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\nENCCS and SciLifeLab are organising a webinar giving an intro on GPU programming in Python and Julia. This event is part of the Tools for AI/ML research in life sciences.  \n\n\n\nPractical information\n\n\n\nTitle: Practical intro to GPU programming in Python & JuliaSpeaker: Yonglei Wang\, PhD\, Training Coordinator and Research Software Engineer and HPC application expert at ENCCSAbstract: Availability of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has transformed the way we work with machine learning and data science challenges in life sciences. The parallel processing capabilities of GPUs have allowed training of ever more complex models. As a result\, it allows researchers to analyze large biological datasets with unprecedented efficiency. However\, in order to make use of this potential we need to write fitting machine learning model code and analysis pipelines. In this webinar ENCCS will present some practical tips about what to keep in mind and how to optimize your code when running analyses on GPU hardware.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be most useful to researchers who already work with large datasets and would like to improve their understanding of how to work with GPUs. At the end\, the participants will learn about online materials and in-person courses where researchers can learn about this topic in depth. \n\n\n\nMore about the event series\n\n\n\nTools for AI/ML research in life sciences is an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre aimed at life science researchers who use machine learning methods in their work. The goal of the events in this series is to provide introductions to different tools for ML research but also to foster discussions around our practices. The events takes place virtually (over Zoom) and are open to researchers in Sweden and beyond. Each event is scheduled for 60 minutes\, consisting of a talk and an extended discussion.

SUMMARY:Space Plasma Simulations with Vlasiator on LUMI Supercomputer (Hybrid event)
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nENCCS comes together with Plasma-PEPSC CoE for the organisations of this hybrid workshop to bring together code developers\, researchers\, and research software engineers working on plasma science\, and create an amazing opportunity for sharing innovative ideas and best practice for potential users to use the Vlasiator package and using its capabilities and assorted tools for data analysis. 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. We will use advanced HPC techniques using tens of thousands of cores to perform massively parallel computations. \n\n\n\nWhat you will learn\n\n\n\nAfter attending this workshop\, you will: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand core features of the Vlasiator package\n\n\n\nBe efficient using the Vlasiator package to perform plasma simulations\n\n\n\nBe productive in data analysis and visualization of simulation results\n\n\n\nBe able to create your own project\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\n\nPhD students\, postdocs\, industry engineers\n\n\n\nBasic familiarity with general physics and plasma physics\n\n\n\nSome previous practical experience running some plasma code\n\n\n\nBasic familiarity with Unix shell\n\n\n\nBasic familiarity with HPC environment is helpful but not mandatory\n\n\n\n\nFormat/venue\n\n\n\nThe event is going to be held at the Stockholm RISE offices on KTH campus Drottning Kristinas väg 61 in room Innoversum. The closest metro station (marked T) is Tekniska Högskolan.

SUMMARY:Efficient materials modelling on HPC with QUANTUM ESPRESSO\, SIESTA and Yambo (Online)
DESCRIPTION:11-15 March 2024\, 09:00–13:00 CET \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOverview\n\n\n\nThis workshop will give a broad overview of important fundamental concepts for molecular and materials modelling on HPC\, with a focus on three of the most modern codes for electronic structure calculations (QUANTUM ESPRESSO\, Yambo and SIESTA). 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. Please use your official university or company email address. \n\n\n\nThis training is intended for users that live and work in the European Union or a country associated with Horizon 2020.

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. 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 the technical specifics of existing code. \n\n\n\nENCCS Lessons\n\n\n\nHave a look at ENCCS lesson materials where you can find multiple lessons on GPU programming\, data analysis\, HPC optimisation\, and more! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDisclaimer\n\n\n\nDue to EuroCC2 regulations\, we CAN NOT ACCEPT generic or private email addresses.

SUMMARY:GPU programming using Julia - A practical intro webinar
DESCRIPTION:Registrations are closed for this event. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the webinar\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we focus on GPU-accelerated computing with Julia\, one of the most popular high-level\, general-purpose dynamic programming languages for science\, engineering\, data analytics\, and deep learning applications. Starting from the basic syntax of Julia\, we will span topics on multiple-dispatch paradigm\, metaprogramming\, and then additional special features of Julia for classic machine learning and deep learning\, with a focus on their unique features and capabilities for high-performance computing. \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\nWho is the webinar for?\n\n\n\nThe GPU programming using Julia webinar is for data scientists\, software developers and researchers who are: \n\n\n\n\nalready familiar with one or more programming languages (Python\, R\, C/C++\, Fortran\, Matlab\,…) but want to add a new exciting high-level yet performant language to their repertoire\,\n\n\n\nneed to analyze big data or perform computationally demanding modelling or analyses\,\n\n\n\nmight be mixing a high-level and a low-level language for performance reasons but want to make their life easier.\n\n\n\n\nKey takeaways\n\n\n\nAfter attending this seminar\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nBe familiar with several Julia libraries for scientific modelling\, visualization\, and machine learning\n\n\n\nHave an overview of Julia’s parallelization and GPU-porting strategies and the know-how to start using them\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. Webinar materials\, such as notebooks and code examples\, are made available online on GitHub. \n\n\n\nFor more thorough tutorials and self-study materials\, please visit the library of ENCCS lessons (https://enccs.se/lessons/). \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nFrancesco Fiusco (RISE/ENCCS)\n\n\n\nYonglei Wang (LiU/ENCCS)\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nRegister by visiting this link https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/1580/registrations/1142/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRestrictions\n\n\n\nDue to EuroCC2 regulations\, we CAN NOT ACCEPT generic or private email addresses.
