Course: the Effective Use of the Kebnekaise Accelerators

We start out with a short introduction to the Kebnekaise system and accelerators, then look at a number of examples of how to use the Kebnekaise accelerators. We will focus on GPU-enabled applications, OpenMP, and OpenACC.

Participation is free. Bring your laptop for the hands-on!

The hands-on will be done on HPC2N's systems, so you will need to have an account at HPC2N (or create one when added to the course project) in order to participate in that part.

Lunch and afternoon coffee will be provided.

Prerequisites: The participants are expected to have a basic knowledge of programming.
