This year at SC19 in Denver, CO, members of our group will be part of numerous contributions: Our master student Jan Laukemann will present the paper “Automatic Throughput and Critical Path Analysis of x86 and ARM Assembly Kernels” at the PMBS 2019 workshop. It describes recent improvements to ... Continue

The first "Performance Evaluation Workshop" of the EoCoE-II project was successfully conducted at FAU from October 7-10, 2019. The workshop gave an introduction to node-level performance engineering and to parallel performance analysis using the Paraver tool. EoCoE-II is the second phase of t... Continue

Im „HPC-Village“ auf der Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften am 19. Oktober 2019 präsentiert das RRZE gemeinsam mit seinen Partnern neben den neuesten Technologien verschiedene faszinierende HPC-Anwendungsfelder aus der Praxis. Biologie: Wie funktioniert eine Zellmembran? Klimaforschung: Wie interag... Continue

The Euro-Par conference is a well-established venue for presenting and discussing research on parallel computing in Europe. In association with the Euro-Par 2019 conference in Göttingen, the workshop "PMACS - Performance Monitoring and Analysis of Cluster Systems" was organized by Thomas Gruber from... Continue

The next HPC Café takes place on Tuesday, October 8th at 4 p.m.. The HPC Café is a new offering to complement our established contact channels and training events. Every second Tuesday of the month this is an opportunity to to get to know each other. On demand we will offer short talks about anythin... Continue

Our paper "Performance Engineering for a Tall & Skinny Matrix Multiplication Kernel on GPUs" by Dominik Ernst, Georg Hager, Jonas Thies, and Gerhard Wellein just received the best workshop paper award at PPAM 2019, the 13th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics,... Continue

Our PhD student Christie Louis Alappat, by winning the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) at SC18 at the graduate level last year, has advanced to the ACM SRC Grand Finals, where the winners from 26 ACM conferences contend for the Grand Prize. For this last round he had to prepare a five-page pa... Continue

We are pleased to announce an invited talk by Benjamin Huth from the University of Regensburg about "Vectorized matrix-multiplication on the NEC SX-Aurora." The NEC SX-Aurora "Tsubasa" is NEC's latest vector processor architecture. Last year, RRZE has acquired a system with two "Tsubasa" vector a... Continue

We are pleased to announce that Georg Hager will conduct our successful one-day tutorial on "Node-Level Performance Engineering" at the Politecnico di Torino in Turin, Italy, on May 31. The tutorial is the most successful teaching activity of our group and was presented at numerous venues around the... Continue

The Bandwidth Benchmark is a collection of simple streaming kernels. While it may be used for microbenchmarking, we mainly want to use it in teaching. It is heavily inspired by John McCalpin's STREAM benchmark. It comprises eight typical streaming kernels with different data access patterns for m... Continue
