Fundamentals of performance analysis.
This introductory technical presentation introduces high-performance hybrid systems, abstractly covering the architecture and configuration of the system. Our aim is to enhance the understanding of HPC complexity before delving deeper into the importance of performance analysis models. Special attention is paid to the Roofline model.
- Abstract Modelling hybrid supercomputers. Presenting an abstract modelling approach for hybrid supercomputers, condensing their complexity into three key parameters: peak performance, memory and network bandwidth.
- Performance analysis. Explore performance analysis, starting with an overview of different models and going deeper into the specifics of the roofline model.
- The roofline model. Describing the roofline model and presenting its practical application through clear explanations and demonstrations.
File systems.
This practical session covers the proper use of file systems on HPC systems, especially on Snellius.
Prerequisites
- Please bring your own laptop (with an ssh client installed (e.g. MobaXterm)) for the hands-on sessions!
