Hackerspace: HPC code along
๐ When: Wednesday 15 Oct, 4-6pm
(Drop by anytime during this timing!)
๐ Where: COM1-0216
๐ฐ Refreshments will be provided
Do you enjoy squeezing every last drop of performance out of a system? Have you ever been interested in running massive multi server applications?
The NUS High Performance Computing team (Team Kent Ridge) is partnering with Hackers to provide an introductory experience of running a HPC application.
In this session we'll build, run and monitor a real world HPC application on the SoC cluster.
To prep the only thing you'll need to do is enable SoC cluster access here:
- Register for SoC cluster: https://mysoc.nus.edu.sg/~myacct/services.cgi
- Additional Resources: https://dochub.comp.nus.edu.sg/cf/services/compute-cluster
- NOTE: You maybe will need to log in with you SoC account and not NUS account
No signups required. You can drop by anytime between 4-6pm.
