SCOPE: Task-Based Parallelism in HPC

The current physical limitations have kept the speed of processor cores constrained. These limitations made the way for more parallelism. The supercomputers have grown to millions of cores or thousands of nodes which are harder to target using legacy methods such as bulk synchronous parallelism. In this context, task-based parallelism provides a promising path forward. Tools like FleCSI, MPC, Pygion, and many others simplify the programming of heterogeneous supercomputers by providing sequential semantics. The intent of this year’s Co-Design Spring School is to give to the students all the tools to step into the world of task-based parallelism. With classes from actors at the edge of computer science research, the school proposes a mix of lectures and hands-on to get familiar with the concepts of task-based parallelism and several software/frameworks implementing them.

ADDRESSED TO:

>From Ph.D. Students to senior researchers in Computer Science. 

VENUE:

The CEA/NNSA 2024 Co-Design Spring School will take place at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne in France. Reims is less than an hour away from Paris by train and is recognized for the diversity of its heritage, ranging from Romanesque to Art-deco. 

STRUCTURE:

The CEA/NNSA Co-Design Spring School will features a theoretical class on task-based parallism and many tutorials and hands-on based on nowadays leading applications: FleCSI (LANL), MPC (CEA) and Kokkos (SNL). The students will discover these frameworks and practice them firsthand on the Romeo supercomputer of the University of Reims. On Wednesday the school will feature multiple presentations from the different laboratories involved (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory) and a poster session where the participants will present their researches and exchange with the mentors of the school.

REGISTRATION:

All the information for application and the form can be found at: https://lanl.github.io/cdws/registration.html

FEES:

The fees for the school will be around €700 (exact price TBD).
