The Matlab license server serving TACC systems will be under maintenance this Thursday, May 2, 2019 from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM (CT).

The license service will be intermittently unavailable during the maintenance.

In this class, our TACC Vis Staff will provide and overview on software data visualization as well as training on the use of the Paraview software package to visualize data sets on Stampede2 and Lonestar5.

This course will be available to both in-person and remote attendees via webcast. To register and for more information please visit: https://learn.tacc.utexas.edu/

This is the first session in a two part training series that will cover an introduction to the Machine Learning and Big Data processing platforms, programming models as well as libraries and tools that are specifically designed for data-driven analysis.

Each session will be three and a half hours long with approximately three hours of lecture and a half hour of hands-on practice. More details on the specific content covered during each session will be available closer to the session start date.

Local participants are strongly encouraged to attend in-person. To register and for more information please visit: https://learn.tacc.utexas.edu/

The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) will be deploying a new system, Frontera, in mid-2019, with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation as the first phase of the new NSF "Towards a Leadership Class Computing Facility" program.

This webinar will provide a brief overview of the plans for the new system and the broader project that surrounds it, review the architectural design choices made, and discuss the application community that will run on it. The presentation will also provide an update on the current landscape of systems at TACC, how they are used, and how usage is changing. 

The focus of this training will be on programming for advanced architectures on Stampede2. We'll also review the basics of vectorization, discuss the importance of multi-threaded programming, and cover the importance of hybrid programming on manycore architectures.

We will also provide practical information and advice to enable experienced OpenMP and MPI programmers to enhance applications on the manycore architectures. We'll provide recommendations regarding MPI and OpenMP task layout. Optimization methods in multithreading will be covered in depth. An overview of current profiling tools available on Stampede2 will also be presented.

Local participants are strongly encouraged to attend in-person. To register and for more information please visit: https://learn.tacc.utexas.edu/ If you have any questions please contact me at jasona@tacc.utexas.edu

This whole day workshop will instill in the participants fluency in the basic MPI constructs through a series of practical programming exercises. Participants will learn collectives, blocking and non-blocking two-sided communication, and a brief introduction to more advanced topics.

The emphasis of this workshop will be on doing hands-on exercises; there will be little lecturing. This course will be offered to in-person and webcast attendees. Local participants are strongly encouraged to attend in-person. Participants should have a basic command of Unix and a common Unix editor such as Vi or Emacs. Exercises can be done in C, Fortran, or Python.
