Detailed Agenda:

14:10-15:00:  Geomage GPU Cluster - Case Study
Speaker: Eyal Hirsch, Senior HPC developer, Geomage

Abstract
Geomage has been using Tesla line GPUs in production for the last 2 years. The cluster operates at high volumes, in terms of computation power, processing seismic projects around the clock.
Presentation will talk about seismic processing and the issues we've encountered from the development stage, QA, multi-GPU all the way to production including a real world case study.

15:00-15:15: Coffee Break

15:15-16:00: Impressions from Super Computing 2010 Conference
Speaker: Dr. Guy Tel-Zur – IGT Chairman.

Abstract
The SC, Super Computing, conference is the World’s leading event in High-End Computing. The talk will cover Super Computing 2010 that will take place this November in New Orleans. Major announcements, including the latest Top500 Super Computing ranking, new products and trends will be discussed.

16:00-16:15: Discussion and concluding remarks

The End of Grid Computing?

-

In the year 2003 the MIT Technology review ranked "Grid Computing" among the 10 Emerging Technologies That Will Change the World [1]. We are now four years later and something is not going well with "Grid Computing". An indication that there is a problem can easily be seen by looking at the "Google Trends" plot for the term "Grid Computing": (click on the image to get the current trend). This finding can be compared with another buzz word, "Virtualization", which is older than "Grid Computing" and yet is gaining more and more momentum: There is however one exception. The Academic Grid is still having lot's of glory thanks to the huge heavily funded European (EGEE) and other US projects. When LHC data will start to be taken at CERN it will reach it's top importance. But, it seems that for other scientific projects Grid Computing is not going to be such a success. It will remain as "Nice to have" but will never...

Parallel Debugging with a Serial Debugger

Parallel Debuggers are important tools when trying to eliminate bugs in parallel programs. Commercial parallel debuggers are expensive. In this blog post I will show you a free and open source alternative which is good enough for education purposes and for small codes. Suppose you want to debug the famous cpi.c code which computes an approximation to pi by a parallel numerical integration. This demo uses the free Data Display Debugger (ddd) which is based on gdb but has a nice GUI. Step 1, compile: mpicc -g -o cpi ./cpi.c Step 2, run (without a debugger): mpirun -np 2 ./cpi Step 3, run with the free Data Display Debugger (ddd) : mpirun -np 2 ddd ./cpi The last command will open two MPI processes (instances) of ddd each running cpi, see screen capture: Finally, I enclose here a short video which I hope is convincing: hi-res version:  https://youtu.be/N_J4NKJkuMs Happy (Free) MPI debugging!
