[VSC News] ASHPC25 - Call for abstracts, registration is open
by VSC Newsletter 19 Feb '25

19 Feb '25

Dear VSC users and friends, we invite you to participate in the ASHPC25 - Austrian-Slovenian HPC Meeting 2025 <https://ashpc.eu/e/ASHPC25>, which will take place at Rimske Terme, Slovenia, from May 19 to May 22, 2025. Continuing the tradition of the annual Austrian HPC Meetings (2015-2020) and the Austrian-Slovenian HPC Meetings (2021-2024), ASHPC25 will bring together users and providers of large-scale computing resources for both academic and non-academic research and development. Keynote speakers [1] will share insights into the latest developments in distributed machine-learning algorithms, algorithmic developments in computational molecular sciences, quantum computing, and the challenges posed by climate and weather simulations. Additionally, the meeting will provide a platform for exchanging experiences related to the operation of large-scale computing resources and the challenges encountered. We are now accepting abstracts for contributed talks and posters at ASHPC25. We encourage you to submit an abstract highlighting your work and expertise related to High-Performance Computing (HPC). Topics may include applications of HPC, research conducted on HPC clusters, systems engineering (software, storage, networking, etc.), and any other HPC-related subjects. All submitted abstracts will be reviewed, and accepted submissions will be published. Abstract submissions can be made at https://ashpc.eu/event/25/abstracts/ [2]until January 10, 2025. You can download the abstract template here: ASHPC25_abstract_template.zip [3] Notifications regarding the acceptance of talks or posters will be sent out by February 10, 2025. We look forward to your valuable contributions! Registration for ASHPC25, along with the co-located Central European NCCs Workgroup Meeting, is now open at: https://ashpc.eu/event/25/registrations/3/ Please register by February 15, 2025 to ensure room reservations at the hotel, as we cannot guarantee accommodations beyond this date. We also offer scholarships of EUR200 for students. For more information, please refer to the Call for Abstracts and the Registration Form, or feel free to contact us. For further updates and details, please visit: https://ashpc.eu/e/ASHPC25 We look forward to welcoming you to ASHPC25!

[News] AURELEO: Test access to LEONARDO DCGP (CPU partition)
by VSC Newsletter 13 Nov '24

13 Nov '24

Dear VSC users, Austria owns a small share of the LEONARDO DCGP (Data-Centric General-Purpose) partition at the LEONARDO supercomputer operated by CINECA in Bologna. The nodes of this partition are equipped with two Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs, each with 56 cores, that are known for their extremely high memory bandwidth. In addition, the DCGP partition uses Mellanox HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand connectivity, with smart in-network computing acceleration engines that enable extremely low latency and high data throughput to provide the highest HPC application performance and scalability. The DCGP is a CPU only partition. Test access to the LEONARDO DCGP partition is possible for active VSC users in non-commercial projects and because of the limited amount of resources it is suited for testing and/or benchmarking only. Such a test access might be especially useful if you have a memory-bandwidth bound application and in general for everyone interested to test the Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs. If after testing the DCGP partition appears to be useful to you, we can help you to apply for a larger allocation on this partition via a standard EuroHPC Access Call. Active VSC users in non-commercial projects can get test access to the LEONARDO DCGP partition by requesting a test user in the joint "DCGP Austria 2024" project that is already in place at CINECA. In order to apply, send an email to leonardo(a)vsc.ac.at telling your VSC project and VSC username, when and how long you would like to get access, and a short description of your project and why you think that your application can benefit from using the LEONARDO DCGP partition (max half a page). We will check if your application is suitable for the LEONARDO DCGP partition as well as eligibility and grant you short-term access on a first-come first-serve basis. For this we will also ask you to register in the CINECA User DB. After your test access is over, we will ask you to provide a short feedback (max half a page) about your experience with running your application on the LEONARDO DCGP partition. There is no formal deadline, we accept rolling applications until the resources in the joint "DCGP Austria 2024" project are exhausted. Best regards, VSC team and HLST LEONARDO Austria
