The 6th Swedish Workshop on Data Science (SweDS18) will be hosted in Umeå University on November 20-21, 2018.
This two day course gives a practical introduction to deep learning, convolutional and recurrent neural networks, GPU computing, and tools to train and apply deep neural networks for natural language processing, images, and other applications.
The workshop is given by Software Carpentry in cooperation with HPC2N.
The topics for this workshop will be:
Date: 9-10 October 2018
Time: 9:00 - 17:00 both days
Venue: N270
Deadline for registration is 4 October 2018.
In this course we begin with a short introduction to Linux, which is what is used on HPC2N's compute clusters. This part is only meant for complete beginners to the Linux operating system, and can be omitted if you are proficient already.
This two days workshop is arranged together with PRACE, and will have instructors from Intel. The course focuses on programming and optimizing the Intel Knights Landing Manycore Processor. It addresses the Intel® Xeon Phi™, codenamed “Knights Landing (KNL)” architecture and how to best use it efficiently.
The purpose of this course is to give a short overview of the most important aspects of OpenMP and MPI. The first half of the day will be focused on OpenMP and the second half of the day on MPI. There will also be a part on how to use profiling tools (VTune) to optimize your code.
If you are only interested in either OpenMP or MPI, it is possible to just attend the relevant part of the course.
Please bring your own laptop if you wish to participate in the hands-ons.
Lunch and coffee/tea will be provided.
This one day MD course will look at enhanced sampling, with a focus on NAMD. During the afternoon there will be a hands-on where you get the opportunity to run a NAMD job at HPC2N.
Topics: Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Enhanced Sampling (Metadynamics and Accelerated Molecular Dynamics), NAMD at HPC2N.
Participation is free. Bring your laptop for the hands-on!
Lunch and afternoon coffee will be provided.
Time and date: 26 February, 2018. 10:00 - 16:30
We begin with a short introduction to Linux, which is what is used on HPC2N's compute clusters. This part is only meant for complete beginners to the Linux operating system, and can be omitted. See the schedule.
This one day course is an introduction to using the Kebnekaise accelerators. We will look at GPU-enabled applications, as well as OpenMP, and OpenACC.
There will be a hands-on, so bring your laptop.
Participation is free and open to all existing and prospective users of HPC from Swedish institutions. Lunch and afternoon coffee will be provided.
Location: MA378
Time and date: 2017-12-12, 10:00-16:30
High Performance Computing Center North cordially invites you to participate in the celebration of Kebnekaise, the latest HPC2N supercomputer system. The morning program offers a tutorial and the afternoon program includes presentations by scientists using Kebnekaise, a poster session, and the more formal celebration of Kebnekaise.
The procurement of Kebnekaise was made possible through a grant from both the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) and Umeå University.
