Gray Scott School, du 23 juin au 4 July 2025 à Reims

21 / 06 / 2025, F. Draux

Pour la seconde année, l'URCA participe à la formation HPC Gray Scott School et accueille les participants sur site ainsi que 

Une formation HPC à la carte et gratuite pour les industriels et académiques du 23 juin au 4 juillet 2025 à REIMS et sur le supercalculateur ROMEO !

(programmation et optimisation sur architectures hétérogènes)

Inscription (indiquez bien que vous habiter à Reims) : Inscription ici

Designed for all and entirely free : Join your HPC Summer School and/or follow the Gray Scott Thursdays webinars – everything in english!

The LAPP laboratory (CNRS – CNRS Nuclei & Particles), as part of the ESCAPE Collaboration work programme, and in collaboration with the CC-FR Competence Centre, is organizing the third Gray Scott School from 23 June to 4 July 2025, with experts from IJCLab, CNRS, Inria, LUPM, LPNHE & LISN. This summer school on HPC, in a unique format and entirely free of charge, will be dedicated to programming and optimization on Heterogeneous Architectures.

The school will cover the optimisation of computations on different types of hardware (CPU, GPU), presenting their respective characteristics, architectures and bottlenecks. It will cover generic optimisation methods applicable to all types of hardware, as well as the various libraries, technologies and languages available to achieve the best possible performance. Ideally, the peak performance of the machine.

• Hardware: CPU, GPU
• Languages considered : C++17, C++20, CUDA, Fortran, Rust, Python, Julia
• Libraries considered: SYCL, Eve, NumPy, cunumerics, legate, Jax, Thrust, cuPy, pycuda and PyTorch
• Compilers considered : g++, clang++, nvc++, gfortran, nvfortran, dpc++.
• Profiling tools: Valgrind, Maqao, Perf, NSight, Malt and NumaProf

All the methods will be illustrated on simple examples, such as Hadamard products, reductions, barycentre calculations and matrix products, in order to be applied to a single problem: the simulation of a Gray Scott reaction.

This problem is simple enough to be understood quickly and complex enough for compilers to have difficulty optimising it without help. Each method will be broken down into a simple version, using default options, and one or more advanced versions, which will allow their advantages and disadvantages to be discussed and quantified.
