High Performance Computing Center North cordially invites you to participate in the celebration of Kebnekaise, the latest HPC2N supercomputer. The morning program offers a tutorial and the afternoon program includes invited 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 the Swedish National Metacenter VR/SNIC and important support of Umeå University.

Tutorials on the Kebnekaise Architecture and Its Efficient Use

Room MC413 in MIT Huset

09:00 CHAIR: Dr Jerry Eriksson, HPC2N Advanced Consultant
Welcome and brief introduction to Kebnekaise
09:15

Accelerating scientific discovery with GPUs and Deep Learning
Leif Nordlund , HPC and Deep Learning BDM NVIDIA and Henrik Holst , Solution Architect NVIDIA

GPU acceleration is changing the HPC ecosystem. The world's top 15 HPC applications today are GPU accelerated. GPUs have enabled Deep Learning models to process very large amounts of data and train deep neural networks. These deep neural networks have in many cases vastly outperformed previous models for a wide range of applications. It is predicted that tomorrows HPC applications wi ll combine both simulation and Deep Learning models to further accelerate scientific discovery.

This tutorial presentation from NVIDIA will briefly cover:
- The latest Tesla Volta 100 hardware and the new Tensor Core technology
- OpenACC programming model to accelerate existing CPU codes with GPU offloading
- Overview of NVIDIA GPU Cloud and GPU optimized Deep Learning stacks
- The future of GPUs
