At the 41st SPEEDUP Workshop, Joost van de Vondele gave a presentation on “Sparse matrix matrix multiplication for linear scaling DFT”. Joost is an Assistant Professor of Nanoscale Simulation at ETH Zurich and is working in the development of modeling tools for nanoscale systems and solar cells. Previously he was Oberassistent at the University of [...]
One of the main activities of the SPEEDUP Society is the organization of an annual workshop on high performance computing and related topics for the Swiss scientific community. Each year the SPEEDUP workshop addresses the latest advances in high computing technology, focussing on a specific application field, such as molecular dynamics, environmental impacts, bioinformatics, or [...]
John Biddiscombe and Jerome Soumagne presented at the last HPC Advisory Council workshop in Lugano techniques for data staging for in-situ processing and parallel IO/Coupling of HPC applications: Parallel IO is used by HPC applications to quickly export data to disk, but the time/space taken to save and reload the results for post-processing is often [...]
Hussein N. Harake presented at the HPC Advisory Council in Lugano how CSCS is moving without service disruption data from the old location in Manno to a new building in Lugano. Both locations are a few kilometers kilometers away from each other. To to this CSCS is running GPFS over Obsidian LongBow. Introduction: Move from [...]
Stefano Gorini (CSCS) presented at the HPC Advisory Council in Lugano the storage of CSCS based on a GPFS / HSM solution. The GPFS filesystem at CSCS QFS/SAM-FS to GPFS TSM Migration Data topology (file size range as a function of last access time) TSM/HSM Open issues Future plans (please apologize for the low audio [...]
