Introduction

The number of cores per processor chip is still increasing. In order to be prepared to program and use future computing systems efficiently, we provide a large number of "fat" compute nodes as part of the RWTH Compute-Cluster. These nodes are equipped with 16 eight-core Intel® Xeon™ processors each and they provide a large shared memory of up to 2 TB, which offers additional opportunities.

To parallelize for this powerful resource one typically uses MPI. However, with the different levels of parallelism, namely shared memory within a node and distributed memory across the nodes, good performance becomes increasingly difficult to obtain. This tuning workshop will cover tools and methods to program big SMP systems in detail.

Participants

Attendees are kindly requested to prepare and bring in their own code, if applicable. It is recommended to have good knowledge in MPI and/or OpenMP and the programming language (C/C++/Fortran) of the code.
The presentations will be given in English.

Travel Information

If required, please make your own hotel reservation.You can find some popular hotels listed here. You may find a complete list of hotels on the web pages of the Aachen Tourist Service. We recommend that you try to book a room in the "Novotel Aachen City", " Mercure am Graben" or "Aachen Best Western Regence" hotels. These are adequate hotels with reasonable prices at a walking distance (20-30 minutes) to the computer center through the old city of Aachen. An alternative is the hotel "IBIS Aachen Marschiertor" which is close to the main station, which is convenient if you are travelling by train and also want to commute to the Center by train (3 trains per hour, 2 stops)

Please, download a sketch of the city (pdf, 415 KB) with some points of interest marked.
You may find a description of how to reach us by plane, train or car here.
Bus route 33 connects the city and the stop "Mies-van-der-Rohe-Straße" every 15 minutes.
Trains between Aachen and Düsseldorf stop at "Aachen West" station which is a 5 minutes walk away from the center.
From the bus stop and the train station just walk uphill the "Seffenter Weg". The first buildung on the lefthand side at the junction with "Kopernikusstraße" is the Computing Center.
The weather in Aachen is usually unpredictable. It is always a good idea to carry an umbrella. If you'll bring one, it might be sunny!
