Please note that DEISA is running two training courses at the SARA Computing and Network

Centre, Amsterdam, in November 2009.

--------------------------------------------------------------

   DEISA Training Courses: 3 - 4 November 2009; SARA, Amsterdam

  --------------------------------------------------------------

          Introduction to the DEISA Infrastructure.

          The Scalasca Performance Analysis Toolset.

         --------------------------------------------

Both courses will be based around a number of practical programming exercises.

The first course on Tuesday 3rd November is an "Introduction to the

DEISA Infrastructure". This will cover the basic aspects of the DEISA

distributed supercomputer environment and the software tools that are

used to access it.

No prior knowledge is assumed for this course.

The second course on Wednesday 4th November will cover "The Scalasca

Performance Analysis Toolset".

Scalasca is an open-source, portable toolset that can be used to analyse

the behaviour of parallel applications and to identify opportunities for

performance optimisation. It has been specifically designed for use on

large-scale HPC systems such as those in DEISA, but is also well-suited

for small and medium-scale HPC platforms. Scalasca supports an

incremental performance-analysis procedure that integrates runtime

summaries with in-depth profiles of parallel execution. DEISA staff will

be on hand to help users with the Scalasca practical exercises and to

help analyse the execution of their own programs on the DEISA platforms.

It is assumed that those attending this course will already have their own

parallel application that currently runs on some other HPC system.
