Primary tabs

Objectives

  • Get a comprehensive view of the architecture of the heterogeneous ARM-based platforms deployed in the framework of the Mont-Blanc project, including ARM multicore clusters based on mobile and server technology.
  • Understand the challenges associated with large-scale HPC simulations. 
  • Understand the basic concepts of architectural simulations and introduce the MUlti-scale Simulation Architecture (MUSA), developed within Mont-Blanc 3 for the simulation of next-generation HPC architectures. 
  • Hands-on and study of a use case using MUSA. Tools for architectural simulation that include a complete software stack for performing architectural simulations at scale of thousands of cores will be made available.
 

 

Requirements

  • Standard HPC users, with some knowledge in computer architecture (recommended, but not required).
  • BSc (or higher) degree in science or engineering with basic knowledge in parallel computing. 
  • There will be a hands-on session, therefore attendees should bring their own laptop.
