HPC2N
High Performance Computing Center North
We just opened to apply for two positions at HPC2N, Umeå University.
HPC2N is one of Sweden's leading national supercomputing centers.
Permanent, full-time position.
We are looking for a dedicated systems engineer that wants to work with cutting edge technology and who can help us in making HPC and AI available to a broader community of researchers.
Deadline: 4 December 2023
We are going to upgrade the file system for projects and home directories, /proj/nobackup and /home.
There is a maintenance window for this from 2023-11-15 08:00 - 2023-11-15 17:00.
No jobs will be allowed to run during that period and login nodes will also be disabled.
This is synchronized with electrical and cooling maintenance work on 2023-11-16 to minimize total downtime.
*** UPDATE 2023-11-17 11:25 ***
The maintenance is now finished and batch system and login nodes are back online.
This course aims to give a brief, but comprehensive introduction to using Python in an HPC environment. You will learn how to use modules to load Python, how to find site installed Python packages, as well as how to install packages yourself. In addition, you will learn how to use virtual environments, write a batch script for running Python, use Python in parallel, and how to use Python for ML and on GPUs.
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.
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.
There are three new nodes available on Kebnekaise.
Two of the new nodes have dual NVIDIA A100 GPUs and one is a many-core CPU node.
There are some notable differences with these nodes.
