Services of the POP CoE
The Performance Optimisation and Productivity Centre of Excellence in HPC provides performance optimisation and productivity services for (your?) academic AND industrial code(s) in all domains!
The idea that drives the POP CoE (Performance Optimisation and Productivity Centre of Excellence in HPC) is a simple one: to boost productivity of EU research and industry by providing free of charge services that help improve performance of high performance computing (HPC) and parallel software. The aim of POP is to offer our world-class HPC competence to organisations that want to understand software performance issues and to adopt parallel programming best practice.
Main services of the POP CoE are: Performance Audits, Improvement Plans, Proof-of-Concept demos, and Training.
- Performance Audits are an initial analysis measuring a range of performance metrics to assess quality of performance and identify the issues affecting performance.
- Improvement Plans undertake further performance evaluations to qualify and quantify solutions and estimate potential improvements.
- Proof of Concept work uses extracted application kernels to demonstrate actual benefits from tuning and optimisation.
- Training offers events and materials covering parallel profiling tools, programming models and parallelisation approaches.
Services are free of charge to organisations, SMEs, ISVs, companies in the EU!
Services of POP CoE are provided for:
- Code developers. (Assessment of detailed actual behavior, suggestion of most productive directions to refactor code…)
- Users. (Assessment of achieved performance in specific production conditions, possible improvements modifying environment setup, evidence to interact with code provider...)
- Infrastructure operators. (Assessment of achieved performance in production conditions, possible improvements from modifying environment setup, information for time computer time allocation processes, training of support staff...)
- Vendors. (Benchmarking, customer support, system dimensioning/design...)
Call for Business Experiments – Support for SMEs in the Implementation of HPC Solutions 28 Jun - We draw your attention to the second open call under the FFplus project, which focuses on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in addressing specific business challenges through High Performance Computing (HPC). The aim of the call is to carry out so-called “business experiments” designed to demonstrate that the use of HPC technologies can solve real-world problems and have a positive impact on business.
When Technology Meets Inclusion: A Vision for a Fair Society 25 Jul - In recent days, an inspiring meeting took place between Lucia Maličková, project manager at the National Supercomputing Center and the National Competence Centre for High-Performance Computing (HPC), and Ján Bihari, visionary, founder of Tibi Digital, and thought leader in the field of Roma community digitalization.
Recording of the Webinar: Simulating Societies through AI and Digital Twins 23 Jul - Nestihli ste náš webinár „Digitálne dvojčatá spoločnosti: Simulácie poháňané výpočtami na HPC“? Záznam je už dostupný online. Webinár priniesol inšpiratívne pohľady na to, ako umelá inteligencia, kognitívne modelovanie a multiagentové simulačné technológie pomáhajú vedcom porozumieť a predikovať komplexné spoločenské javy, ako sú šírenie dezinformácií, radikalizácia či spoločenská súdržnosť.
