In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and transition to remote work, ECP and the IDEAS Productivity project launched the panel series Strategies for Working Remotely, which explores important topics in this area.
Abstract:
- Many virtual student internship programs across the national labs complex, industry, and academia are underway with students working remotely while geographically dispersed. What does a “virtual internship” lack, and what changes to mentoring or onboarding must be made? How can students get the most out of their internships—what opportunities should they look for, and how can they prepare for challenges? In the ninth installment of the panel discussion series, seasoned scientists offer career advice for students and early career scientists on weathering a pandemic, time management, and how to adjust to long-term changes while working remotely.
Panelists:
- Dorian Arnold, Emory University
- Rebecca Hartman-Baker, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
- Christine Harvey, The MITRE Corporation
- Jay Lofstead, Sandia National Laboratories,
Moderators:
- Ashley Barker, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
- Elaine Raybourn, Sandia National Laboratories
The ECP SOLLVE project, which is working to evolve OpenMP for exascale computing, invites you to participate in a new series of monthly telecons that will occur on the last Friday of every month. The next call in the series will take place on Friday, June 25th, between noon and 1:00 pm ET.
We are organizing these monthly calls so that ECP application teams may share their OpenMP experiences with the community and bring any related issues or concerns to the attention of the compiler developers and OpenMP language committee members. Application developers may treat them as office hours on all topics related to OpenMP. We expect that representatives of vendors will attend on a regular basis. Please note that attendance is open to ECP and the broader HPC community, and therefore participants should not share confidential and/or proprietary information.
Our goal is to enable application teams to be more productive using OpenMP and help make your codes portable across different vendor compilers and systems. The telecons will be conducted via Zoom. In order to receive the Zoom coordinates for the call, please fill out the following form or click “Tickets” above. Note, you will only be required to fill this form out once to receive the invite to the monthly series.

The IDEAS Productivity project, in partnership with the DOE Computing Facilities of the ALCF, OLCF, and NERSC and the DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP) has resumed the webinar series on Best Practices for HPC Software Developers, which we began in 2016.
As part of this series, we offer one-hour webinars on topics in scientific software development and high-performance computing, approximately once a month. The July webinar is titled Mining Development Data to Understand and Improve Software Engineering Processes in HPC Projects, and will be presented by Boyana Norris (University of Oregon). The webinar will take place on Wednesday, July 7, 2021 at 1:00 pm ET.
Abstract:
The webinar will explore the role of software-related data mining tools in supporting productive development of high-performance scientific software. The webinar will discuss a variety of existing and emerging tools for analyzing code, git, emails, issues, test results, and dependencies, with the long-term goal of improving the understanding of development processes and enhancing developer productivity. The webinar will include specific analysis examples by applying a subset of those tools to ECP projects.
Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing
Call for 2021 Applications EXTENDED
The Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC) provides intensive, two-week training on the key skills, approaches, and tools to design, implement, and execute computational science and engineering applications on current high-end computing systems and the leadership-class computing systems of the future.
The core of the program will focus on programming methodologies that are effective across a variety of supercomputers and that are expected to be applicable to exascale systems. Additional topics to be covered include computer architectures, mathematical models and numerical algorithms, approaches to building community codes for HPC systems, and methodologies and tools relevant for Big Data applications.
Doctoral students, postdocs, and computational scientists interested in attending ATPESC can review eligibility and application details on the application instructions web page.
The event will be held in the Chicago area. If an in-person meeting is not possible, it will be held as a virtual event.
Note: There are no fees to participate. Domestic airfare, meals, and lodging are provided.
IMPORTANT DATES – ATPESC 2021
- March 5, 2021 (midnight, Anywhere on Earth) – Extended deadline to submit applications
- April 26, 2021 – Notification of acceptance
- May 3, 2021 – Account application deadline

1st Variorum Lecture Series August 2021
The Variorum team will provide its first Variorum Lecture Series, where attendees will learn everything necessary to start using Variorum on various platforms to write portable power management code. The team will provide support through GitHub and Variorum mailing list during and after the lecture series. This Variorum Lecture Series will consist of two modules, each of 1.5 hours each. We will hold two sessions to accommodate different time zones as well as attendee schedules.
-
Session 1: August 6 and 13, 8:30am-10:00am PT (11:30am-1:00pm ET), targeting US/European attendees, and
Session 2: August 20 and 27, 4:00pm-5:30pm PT (7:00pm-8:30pm ET), targeting US/Asian attendees.
What is Variorum?
Variorum is a production-grade, open-source, vendor-neutral software infrastructure for exposing low-level control and monitoring of a system’s underlying hardware features. It can easily be ported to different hardware devices, as well as different generations within a particular device. This allows users to manage power, performance and thermal information seamlessly across hardware from different vendors. More specifically, Variorum’s flexible design supports a set of features that may exist on one generation of hardware, but not on another. Variorum can also be included as part of the system software stack for power management: such as runtime systems, resource managers, and other profiling tools. At present, Variorum supports 5 platforms (IBM, Intel, AMD, ARM and NVIDIA) and a total of ten microarchitectures across these platforms.
Contents of the Lectures
Module 1: Introduction to Variorum
- Challenges in Power Management and The HPC Power Stack
- Understanding Power Management Knobs on Intel, IBM, NVIDIA, ARM, and AMD platforms
