Notes for 9/9/08 Call
- Did you talk to Fitz and Brad for sure about presenting the modeling stuff?
- Yup, they're game.
- Talk to Bob about doing a similar presentation in the booth
- Do we want signs for the booth for the Little demos?
- Yes, Kay will look into signage generally
- We have a full session for GNU and Intel tools but is TotalView included in that?
- No it's not, let's schedule a booth session for TotalView
- What is the difference between Benchmarking and Tuning Methodologies and Tools for Parallel Programs and Intel/GNU Tools
- One is the basic compiler and libraries, the other is gprof, PAPI, etc.
- Can we split the 3:30 - 5:00 on the 18th into two sessions?
- We need to put someone on the EduGrid presentation
- We haven't confirmed these talks with people!!
- We need abstracts for all of these, Kay is finding-out when they are due
Brainstorming
Focus - development, debugging, and deployment of MPI and OpenMP based software
All presentations are 90 minutes unless otherwise noted.
For each of these we'll need to produce/gather:
- Level, pre-requisites, expected outcomes
- Hands-on labs
- Slides
- (See Paul's email)
1) Tools Track
- 1a) GNU tools - gcc, gprof, gdb, gcov, etc. (Charlie/Paul) - 45 minutes
- 1b) Intel tools - icc, etc. MKL (Charlie/Paul) - 45 minutes
- 1c) TotalView debugger (Paul) - 45 minutes
- 1d) MPI - introduction () and advanced ()
- 1e) OpenMP - introduction (Christian/Greg)
- 1f) GNU Scientific Library + NetLib + BLAS implementations + vendor libraries - 45 minutes ()
- 1g) Benchmarking and tuning methodologies and tools for parallel programs - PERFCTR, PAPI, gprof, etc. (Paul/Charlie)
- 1e) CUDA - introduction (Christian/Greg) - 45 minutes? How widely applicable?
- 1f) SPRNG (Michael Mascagni) - 45 minutes? Includes a lab? How widely applicable?
For the GNU and Intel tools BobSCEd is one platform where we have both. Put BLAS libraries there. Test heavy MPI/GE and MPI/OFA loads.
2) Using Grid Resources
- 2a) Using TeraGrid Resources (ScottL/BradA) - 45 minutes
- 2b) Using Edu-Grid Resources (Paul/Kay/Charlie) - 45 minutes
- 2c) Using Open Science Grid Resources (Alina) - 45 minutes
3) Supercomputing in Plain English - Introduction (Henry/Charlie) Include HASS and K-12
4) LittleFe
- 4a) Hardware (Charlie) Schedule in the booth
- 4b) Software (Alex/Kevin/Skylar/Charlie) Schedule in the booth
Others we may help with, in particular the HASS and K-12 tracks would like Collaboration Tools. We should schedule these to be available to as many people as possible, and not have instructor conflict.
5) Collaboration Tools
- 5a) Moodle (Charlie/Kay)
- 5b) Wikis (Kevin/Charlie/Kay)
- 5c) 3DI (Jessie/Tom/Charlie)
- 5d) Mashups? (Charlie/Fitz)
Consider shot-gun or shut-gun plus guided tutorials.
6) Modeling and Simulation
- 6a) NetLogo (Fitz/Brad)
- 6b) Fire (Brad/Fitz)
7) K-12 Outreach (Brad/Fitz/Charlie)
Dropped Topics
- Which MPI implementation should I use? ()
- Supercomputing in Plain English (Henry/Charlie)
- Storage hierarchy
- Processor hierarchy/ILP
- Others?
