CISL has installed new versions of some commonly used software packages on Cheyenne and Casper. The latest versions of the Intel oneAPI (2022.1) and NVIDIA HPC SDK (22.1) compiler and development suites have been installed on both systems. The Intel oneAPI toolkit includes the traditional and oneAPI compilers, tools like Vtune, and libraries like Intel MPI and MKL. These toolchains will be feat...
The second in a series of CISL workshops and tutorials on GPU computing is “Why Use GPU Accelerators” on Thursday, February 17, at 10 a.m. MST. The series of one-hour sessions is for scientists, software engineers, and students in the Earth system sciences to help them prepare to use the extensive GPU-computing capabilities of the new Derecho system. The training is intended for both new and mo...
CISL recommends running small jobs that use only CPUs on the Casper cluster’s high-throughput computing (HTC) nodes. Casper has 64 HTC nodes specifically for running small batch jobs. It also has: • More shared resources than the Cheyenne share queue • A far higher concurrent-use limit for CPU cores than Cheyenne: 468 vs. 36. • More available memory, plus NVMe swap for overflow. See Starting C...
Downtime is scheduled for Quasar Wednesday, 2/2 from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm MT. None planned for Cheyenne, Casper, Glade, Campaign Storage, Stratus, or JupyterHub.
Intel is offering two online training classes to help the NCAR HPC-user community leverage the latest tools from the oneAPI development environment. The session on Wednesday, February 9, will be from 8 to 10:30 a.m. MST and will cover tools for traditional C, C++, and Fortran-compiled languages. The session on Friday, February 11, from 8 to 10 a.m. MST will focus on Python and tools for AI. The...
Researchers who want help visualizing data to demonstrate the results of their scientific computing can request expert assistance and collaboration from CISL. This service is available to researchers using specialized applications on data analysis and visualization resources that CISL manages. CISL visualization staff have special expertise in CISL-developed software such as VAPOR but are open ...
