SUMMARY:Introduction to GPU Acceleration on Alpine (a Primer)
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 6\, 10:30am - 12pm\n\nCURC's largest 
 supercomputer\, Alpine\, offers users access to state-of-the-art hardware\, 
 including AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. Though this hardware can process complex 
 deep learning workflows and significantly reduce run times for some 
 computations\, users must first overcome the barriers to entry before 
 taking full advantage. Though GPUs are powerful and able to support complex 
 workflows\, for many researchers the learning curve for using them can be 
 steep. We can help!\n\nThis Primer*\, aimed at researchers with little to 
 no GPU programming experience\, introduces heterogeneous (CPU/GPU) 
 computing and popular GPU programming models. The session also presents 
 criteria for porting workflows to GPUs and a high-level overview of 
 optimizing and testing GPU-enabled workflows.. Participants will learn how 
 to request GPU nodes on Alpine with Slurm\, then try a hands-on example to 
 compare run times for CPU-only and GPU-accelerated scripts. Examples will 
 focus on Python and C programming languages\, but experience with either 
 language is not required.\n\nParticipants should have a personal computer 
 and a Research Computing Account prior to the start of the training if they 
 wish to try hands-on examples. RMACC members should refer to our RMACC 
 Access to Alpine page.\n\nWhat is a Primer? A Primer is a session that 
 provides an introduction to concepts\, systems\, and tools. You can expect 
 to leave a Primer with an introductory-level understanding of the topic.
