As already announced in the HPC Cafe in January for summer, we will now reinstall the RTX2080Ti and V100 nodes in TinyGPU with Ubuntu 20.04 (instead of Ubuntu 18.04) and integrate them into the Slurm batch system of the RTX3080/A100 GPU nodes. First RTX2080Ti and V100 nodes have already been reinstalled and moved to Slurm in the past days. The remaining nodes will follow gradually until end of October to allow a smooth transition.

It is our pleasure to announce the third NHR@FAU Newsletter. The newsletter is a publication that summarizes recent and upcoming events in and around the Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center. Beyond events, every newsletter highlights special or noteworthy achievements by NHR scientis...

In light of our new cluster procurement for NHR@FAU, we ran several benchmarks on both an Intel Xeon "Ice Lake" Platinum 8360Y node (2x 36 cores + SMT) and different NVIDIA GPUs to determine the optimal hardware configuration for our users. For the corresponding host CPUs of the GPUs, please visit o...

On July 27, 2021 we presented an open webinar with lectures and demos/hands-on for the Institute for Advanced Computational Science at Stony Brook University, showcasing the tools likwid-topology, likwid-pin, likwid-perfctr, and OSACA for analyzing the performance of SpMV on the A64FX processor with...
