National Center for Computational Sciences

Computational scientists will gather at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in April to hone their skills with the Cray XT supercomputer and the Lustre file system.

ORNL’s Jaguar supercomputer is among the world’s most powerful XT systems, and the April 14-16 XT Workshop will give computational scientists a unique opportunity to meet with XT experts. The workshop is sponsored jointly by ORNL’s National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) and the National Institute for Computational Sciences, home to the National Science Foundation’s newest supercomputer dedicated to transformational science.

At the workshop, researchers will join in hands-on sessions and extensive discussions with staff from the two centers and experts from Cray and chipmaker AMD. Discussions will focus on getting the most out of AMD quad-core processors and the XT architecture, with specific topics including the use of mixed MIP/OpenMP and measurement of application performance on the system.
