SCDG/SCS special HPC tutorial: Marco Barbone (Imperial)

Tuesday May 16, 2023, 10:00 AM → 11:00 AM America/New_York

3rd Floor Classroom/3-Flatiron Institute (162 5th Avenue)

Title: Practical HPC

 

Abstract: High performance computing (HPC) involves maximising the efficiency of system resources such as CPU, GPU, and FPGA. As a developer, it's important to have practical skills that can achieve high performance. This talk will give practical advice on the following topics:
* Reliable micro-benchmarking techniques for identifying sources of inefficiency in the code
* Strategies for solving common bottlenecks such as branches
* Techniques for generating portable and fast vector code on any platform
* Maximising compile-time execution to minimise runtime performance costs.
The aim of the talk is to provide insights and tools for achieving optimal performance in HPC development, with a focus on C++. It should be accessible to everyone across the Institute.
