LUMI Benchmark and Development 2024

Open for Proposals

The purpose of the LUMI Benchmark and Development calls is to support researchers and HPC application developers by giving them the opportunity to develop, test, optimise and benchmark their applications on the upcoming/available LUMI system prior to applying for a regular LUMI Sweden project.

To apply, you must be a scientist in Swedish academia, at least at the level of assistant professor. Normally previous experience from NAISS Medium/Large Compute projects, or equivalent, is required.

HPC2N "fika"

Welcome to the second online coffee-chat with HPC2N!

These informal coffee-chats, "HPC2N fika", are meant for HPC2N’s current and potential users.

It is a chance for you to discuss any HPC-related problems associated with your research and to get advice from HPC2N’s application experts and other staff.

This "HPC2N fika” will be on Thursday, 23 May at 13:00 – 14:00.

We will start with a few updates about HPC2N and our new hardware. After that the floor is open.

Suggestions for topics to bring up

Introduction to Parallel Computing with MATLAB

The NAISS Large Spring 2024 calls are open

Deadline for submission: 12 April 2024 at 15:00 CEST.

Please note that there are two calls – one each for Large compute and Large storage resources.

NAISS Large Compute Spring 2024 call

Talk: Monte Carlo Simulations of Rarefied Atmospheres

On March 14 and 15, Philip Varghese [1] will be visiting UMU; on the 15th he will give a talk at UMIT at 2pm. UMIT is located in the MIT building, Umeå University, Umeå. Map here.

HPC2N was one of four local research infrastructures with the potential to become infrastructures of national interest, which was granted funding from Umeå University.

Two new open positions at HPC2N, Umeå University

We just opened to apply for two positions at HPC2N, Umeå University.

HPC2N is one of Sweden's leading national supercomputing centers.

All are permanent positions and full time.

The NAISS Large and LUMI Sweden Fall 2023 calls are open

Node-Level Performance Engineering (4-6 December 2023)

This online course is given by Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in cooperation with NHR@FAU.

The course covers performance engineering approaches on the compute node level. Even application developers who are fluent in OpenMP and MPI often lack a good grasp of how much performance could at best be achieved by their code. This is because parallelism takes us only half the way to good performance.
