OpenMP Users Monthly Telecons by ECP SOLLVE
Dec 1 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

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, December 1st, between 11:00 am and 12:00 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.

Secure Software Programming Practices and Development
Dec 13 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

The IDEAS Productivity project, in partnership with the DOE Computing Facilities of the ALCF, OLCF, and NERSC, and the DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP), organizes the webinar series on Best Practices for HPC Software Developers.

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 November webinar is titled Secure Software Programming Practices and Development; and will be presented by Nitin Sukhija (Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania). The webinar will take place on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, at 1:00 pm ET.

Abstract:

In scientific software development design priorities such as cost, speed, convenience, open architecture, backwards compatibility, and others often trump security requirements. Moreover, this problem is compounded by an increased dependence on integration of a myriad of software packages and technologies along with an increased need for long-term sustainable software. Thus, incorporating secure software knowledge and practices into scientific software development is becoming increasingly critical to mitigate and to defend against malicious attacks that can cause extreme damage to any piece of software, compromising integrity, authentication, and availability. The webinar aims to address this issue by providing a comprehensive overview of the secure software development process and a thorough introduction to threat modeling and security assurance testing.
