The workshop will cover the basics of supercomputing including how to access a system, the different components involved and their purpose, how to compile and run parallel code via the batch system, and general best practices. A brief introduction to OpenACC and practical examples for taking advantage of Titan's GPUs will also be included. This session is designed for incoming and first-year fellows. Other non-fellow attendees are also welcome.

Attendees will learn to profile a short HPC code with Intel and Cray optimization tools to identify hotspots, bottlenecks and areas to parallelize. Participants will then get a chance to optimize the code, with an eye on preparing it to run well on the Intel Xeon Phi Cori system, due to arrive at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) in 2016. NERSC access during this session will be limited to pre-authorized second-, third- and fourth-year fellows. Others are welcome as observers.
