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. Follow the page of the event series to learn about future seminars. \n\n\n\nFinally. for questions about the events please contact the organizing team by emailing serve@scilifelab.se  \n\n\n\nScientific lead: Prof. Ola Spjuth\, SciLifeLab Data Centre and Uppsala University \n\n\n\nContact information: serve@scilifelab.se \n\n\n\nENCCS Lessons Material\n\n\n\nAdditionally\, if you want to learn more about GPU programming and related fields\, check our lessons material.

SUMMARY:Python for Scientific Computing
DESCRIPTION:What does this Python course include?\n\n\n\nThis is a medium-advanced Python course focusing on tools such as NumPy\, SciPy\, Matplotlib\, and Pandas. It is suitable for people who know basic Python and want to know some internals and important libraries for science – basically\, how a typical scientist actually uses Python. Read the learner personas to see if the course is right for you.  Prerequisites include basic programming in Python. \n\n\n\nThis multilateral collaborative workshop is hosted by Aalto Scientific Computing (Aalto University\, Finland) in partnership with CodeRefinery. The lesson material can be found at https://scicomp.aalto.fi/training/scip/python-for-scicomp-2023/. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\nIn order to follow this Python course you need some background:  \n\n\n\n\nKnowing basic Python syntax. We assume that you can do some Python programming\, but not much more that that. We don’t cover standard Python programming.\n\n\n\nWatch or read the command line crash course if you aren’t familiar.\n\n\n\nYou should be able to use a text editor to edit files some.\n\n\n\nThe software installation (basically\, anaconda).\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nThe workshop will be streamed on Twitch (https://twitch.tv/coderefinery) and to follow the workshop on your own you will not need to register. However\, you can sign up to get emails with practical information about the workshop at: https://scicomp.aalto.fi/training/scip/python-for-scicomp-2023/ \n\n\n\nFollow up\n\n\n\nThe ENCCS workshop on High Performance Data Analytics in Python\, which goes more in-depth on tools for high-performance and large-scale Python\, is a logical follow-up to this workshop. The training material is public and useful also for self-study. \n\n\n\nThe next HPDA-Python workshop will likely be held in late 2024 – sign up to the ENCCS newsletter or follow us on social media to receive information on when registration opens.

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:Julia for High-Performance Scientific Computing
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulia 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 numerical modelling and simulation. \n\n\n\nThe language supports parallelization for both shared-memory and distributed HPC architectures\, and native Julia libraries are available for running on GPUs from different vendors. \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\nHave an overview of Julia’s parallelization and GPU-porting strategies and the know-how to get started using them.\n\n\n\nBe familiar with crucial Julia libraries for scientific modelling\, visualization\, and machine learning.\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\nThe workshop is intended for researchers who are familiar with one or more other languages like Python\, R\, Matlab\, C/C++ or Fortran but would like to learn an exciting modern high-performance language. \n\n\n\nBasic experience with working in a terminal is also beneficial. Participants are expected to install Julia\, VSCode and Zoom before the workshop starts. \n\n\n\nPreliminary Agenda\n\n\n\nDay 1  \n\n\n\nTime (CEST)Time (EEST)Section9:30-10:3010:30-11:30Welcome and Motivation10:30-11:0011:30-12:00Julia syntax11:00-11:3012:00-12:30Special Julia features11:30-12:3012:30-13:30Break12:30-13:0013:30-14:00Special Julia features13:00-14:0014:00-15:00Developing in Julia14:00-14:1015:00-15:10Package ecosystem14:10-14:3015:10-15:30Buffer time\, Q&A\n\n\n\nDay 2 \n\n\n\nTime (CEST)Time (EEST)Section9:30-10:0010:30-11:00Welcome and Motivation10:00-11:3011:00-12:30Writing performant Julia code11:30-12:3012:30-13:30Break12:30-13:3013:30-14:30Multithreading13:30-14:3014:30-15:30Distributed\n\n\n\nDay 3 \n\n\n\nTime (CEST)Time (EEST)Section9:30-10:3010:30-11:30Dagger10:30-11:3011:30-12:30Running on HPC11:30-12:3012:30-13:30Break12:30-13:3013:30-14:30MPI13:30-14:3014:30-15:30Buffer time\n\n\n\nDay 4 \n\n\n\nTime (CEST)Time (EEST)Section9:30-11:0010:30-12:30GPU computing11:30-12:3012:30-13:30Break12:30-13:3013:30-14:30Interfacing to C\, Fortran and Python13:30-14:1514:30-15:15Advanced exercises14:15-14:3015:15-15:30Conclusions and outlook\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nPlease register by following the link https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/1512/registrations/1104/. \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: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:CodeRefinery Best Practices Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Do you write code for your research? Do you manage data? Most importantly\, are you doing it properly? Has it ever happened to you to have to rewrite or simply copy-paste codes from one folder to another\, possibly losing things during the process? Have you ever opened an old code you wrote and had no clue what it does? Maybe you feel you waste a lot of time doing a lot of manual work to process your data and would like to automate it? Or maybe you also are not doing any of this yet\, but would like to avoid these issues from happening in the future and do things properly from the beginning? \n\n\n\nIf you answered yes to any of the previous questions\, then you are strongly encouraged to participate in the CodeRefinery workshop in Uppsala on May 9-11\, 2023. \n\n\n\nENCCS will provide helpers at the workshop. \n\n\n\nTopics\n\n\n\n\nUsing Git to maintain your codes and collaborate with others\n\n\n\nPrinciples of reproducible research and FAIR\n\n\n\nGood coding practices in general (writing documentation\, testing\, how to choose an appropriate license)\n\n\n\nThe Workshop will not teach you to code\, but all the “good practice skills” that are needed to write good maintainable software and achieve reproducible research.\n\n\n\n\nThe workshop will alternate between type-along tutorials and hands-on exercises. You may register for parts of the workshop. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nMore information and the registration form may be found on the workshop page: https://coderefinery.github.io/2023-05-09-uppsala \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.

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:Creative AI Webinar
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\nThe last year has seen an explosion in “creative Al”\, in particular\, the performance of text generation models (such as chatGPT) and image generation models (such as Stable Diffusion\, Dalle-2 and Midjourney) has left many outside of the field shocked by the suddenly impressive capabilities of Al. \n\n\n\nIn this three-hour webinar\, we will give an overview of where these models come from\, how they work and what can be expected in the future.  \n\n\n\n\nIn the first part\, we will start by framing what we mean by creative Al. This will be followed by going back to the heart of deep learning: representation learning. We will discuss Auto Encoders and their wider family and show how latent diffusion models work on a high level. We will then show how this can be used to build generative models which are the building blocks of Stable Diffusion and DALL-E-2.\n\n\n\nIn the second part\, we will discuss language models\, some of their history and the motivation for their use in deep learning. We will give an overview of the Transformer architecture and how it has accelerated the progress in language modelling\, going from a pre-training task to being able to solve problems without retraining. We will show how this can be taken steps further by augmenting the language model with other general tasks\, resulting in something like chatGPT.\n\n\n\nIn the end\, we will forecast some of the impacts of these technologies and invite to an open discussion about the topic of creative Al.\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\nThe webinar will be on a popular science level\, you are not assumed to be a machine learning expert but should know what it is and have a basic knowledge of neural networks. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nYou can register for this event at https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/1482/registrations/1097/ \n\n\n\nContact\n\n\n\nFor any questions contact us at training@enccs.se \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:Targeting chemical accuracy with quantum Monte Carlo on LUMI
DESCRIPTION:Quantum mechanical simulations play an important role in scientific and industrial applications\, where understanding at the atomistic and electronic level is needed. In this context\, quantum Monte Carlo methods are first-principle electronic structure approaches that provide a stochastic solution to the Schrödinger equation and are placed at the high-end in the accuracy ladder of electronic structure methods\, representing a powerful tool when conventional techniques such as density functional are not reliable. Furthermore\, quantum Monte Carlo methods are among the few approaches in the field of quantum simulations that can fully exploit the potential of upcoming exascale supercomputers. \nThis workshop will provide a comprehensive introduction to QMC methods and their practical application in molecular systems with the combined use of Quantum Package and the quantum Monte Carlo CHAMP code developed in the context of European Commission funded TREX CoE. \nThe workshop will be held online from 09:00 to 13:00 on 26\, 27\, 30\, 31 January 2023. \nThe workshop targets Ph.D. students and young researchers with no previous experience on QMC methods. It will provide both lectures\, and hands-on tutorials running on LUMI\, the first pre-exascale supercomputer of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking which has now become the fastest and most energy-efficient supercomputer in Europe. \nMain takeaways\n\nA comprehensive overview of the foundations of QMC and its application to molecular systems.\nUnderstand how QMC methods can help to solve current challenging problems in chemistry.\nHands-on experience with practical QMC simulations based on Quantum Package and CHAMP codes.\nGet familiar with one of the best scientific computing environments for cutting-edge research.\n\nPrerequisites\nThis training is intended for Ph.D. students and young researchers established in the European Union or a country associated with Horizon 2020.

SUMMARY:Efficient materials modelling on HPC with QUANTUM ESPRESSO\, Yambo and BigDFT
DESCRIPTION:Overview\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. Nowadays\, 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\, some extra skills are required from users in order to fully exploit their potential.  This 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 BigDFT). Theory sections will be interleaved with practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises where participants will put their new knowledge to the test on the Vega EuroHPC JU supercomputer. \nQUANTUM ESPRESSO 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. \nYAMBO 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). \nBigDFT is an open source density functional theory code which uses a Daubechies wavelet basis set which facilitates optimal features of flexibility\, performance and precision. In addition to the traditional cubic-scaling DFT approach\, BigDFT also contains an approach which scales linearly with the number of atoms\, enabling DFT calculations of large systems containing many thousands of atoms which were impractical to simulate even very recently. BigDFT consists of a package suite with a wide variety of features\, from ground-state quantities to excited state quantities based on time-dependent DFT and constrained DFT\, to potential energy surface exploration techniques. It uses dual space Gaussian type norm-conserving pseudopotentials including those with non-linear core corrections\, which have proven to deliver all-electron precision. Its flexible Poisson solver can handle a number of different boundary conditions including free\, wire\, surface\, and fully periodic\, while it is also possible to simulate implicit solvents as well as external electric fields. Finally\, BigDFT has been designed to exploit HPC from the outset\, with a hybrid MPI/OpenMP approach\, as well as efficient exploitation of GPUs for hybrid functional calculations. \nMAX (MAterials design at the eXascale) is a European Centre of Excellence which enables materials modelling\, simulations\, discovery and design at the frontiers of the current and future High-Performance Computing (HPC)\, High Throughput Computing (HTC) and data analytics technologies.  MaX’s challenge lies in bringing the most successful and widely used open-source\, community codes in quantum simulations of materials towards exascale and extreme scaling performance and make them available for a large and growing base of researchers in the materials’ domain. \nWhat you will learn\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 QE\, Yambo and BigDFT\, how to prepare input files and how to read output files in order to extract the desired properties. \nBest practices for efficient exploitation of HPC resources will be discussed\, 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 QE.  \nPrerequisites\nThis workshop is aimed towards researchers and engineers who already have some previous experience with materials modelling and electronic structure calculations: \n\nSome 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.\nFamiliarity 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\nTentative agenda\nNov 14 – QUANTUM ESPRESSO (pwscf) \n[ninja_tables id=”17595″] \nNov 15 – QUANTUM ESPRESSO (linear response) and AiiDA \n[ninja_tables id=”17596″] \nNov 16 – Yambo \n[ninja_tables id=”17597″] \nNov 17 – BigDFT \n[ninja_tables id=”17598″] \nRegistration\nRegistration is now closed. \nFor questions regarding this event please contact us at training@enccs.se. \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 Scientific Computing
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nDid you know that the Julia programming language has many applications and is fastly adopted in industry and academia? \nJulia 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.\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.\nThe language supports parallelization for both shared-memory and distributed HPC architectures\, and native Julia libraries are available for running on GPUs from different vendors. \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\nBe comfortable with Julia’s syntax\, in-built package manager\, and development tools.\nUnderstand core language features like its type system\, multiple dispatch\, and composability.\nBe able to write your own Julia packages from scratch.\nHave an overview of Julia’s parallelization and GPU-porting strategies and the know-how to get started using them.\nBe familiar with crucial Julia libraries for scientific modelling\, visualization\, and machine learning.\n\nPrerequisites\nThe workshop is intended for researchers who are familiar with one or more other languages like Python\, R\, Matlab\, C/C++ or Fortran but would like to learn an exciting modern high-performance language.\nBasic experience with working in a terminal is also beneficial. Participants are expected to install Julia\, VSCode and Zoom before the workshop starts. \nPreliminary Agenda\nTuesday 8 November 2022 \n[ninja_tables id=”17153″] \nWednesday 9 November 2022 \n[ninja_tables id=”17154″] \nThursday 10 November 2022 \n[ninja_tables id=”17155″] \nRegistration\nRegistrations are now full. \nFor questions regarding this event please contact us at training@enccs.se. \n———— \n\n\nThis training is intended for users established in the European Union or a country associated with Horizon 2020.
