2023 HDF5 User Group Meeting (HUG23)


The 2023 HDF5 User Group Meeting will be held August 16-18, 2023 in Columbus, Ohio. Celebrating 25 years of HDF5, the event will feature presentations from community members, keynotes and lunch talks, a full day of tutorials and more.

The OpenSSF Best Practices Badge Program


The webinar will give an overview of the OpenSSF Best Practices Badge Program, which provides resources for the creation, maintenance, and sustainability of robust, high quality, and secure open source software. The webinar will also describe how these resources can be used to support advances in software quality and sustainability efforts in CS&E.

Writing Clean Scientific Software


The webinar will focus on tips and strategies on how to write readable, reusable, and maintainable code, including writing short functions that do exactly one thing with no effects, restructuring complicated functions into smaller and manageable chunks, and good use of comments and error messages. Motto: think of code as communication.

Introduction to High-Performance Parallel Distributed Computing using Chapel, UPC++ and Coarray Fortran


This tutorial introduces HPC distributed computing using three alternative parallel programming models, Chapel, UPC++, and Coarray Fortran. The goal is to demonstrate basic concepts of distributed programming, highlight the benefits of each model and provide experience in running examples with each.

Lessons Learned Developing Performance-Portable QMCPACK


The webinar will outline the redesign and reimplementation of QMCPACK, a code that predicts the properties of materials, to achieve portability and performance on GPUs and CPUs. The webinar will discuss development practices, the importance of extensive tests, and a set of strategies that can benefit HPC application developers and facilities.

Facilitating Electronic Structure Calculations on GPU-based Exascale Platforms


The webinar will focus on the porting of electronic structure codes to exascale platforms, and how it can be done with the PROGRESS and BML libraries developed by ECP’s CoPA project. The webinar will discuss implementations and algorithmic choices made in those libraries, and lessons learned for achieving performance portability and strong scaling.

Our Road to Exascale: Particle Accelerator & Laser-Plasma Modeling


The webinar will focus on the experience of the WarpX developers towards exascale, culminating in the 2022 ACM Gordon Bell Prize. WarpX uses GPUs and CPUs at massive scale, and research efforts advanced particle-in-cell algorithms and solvers. A team-of-teams approach improved software architecture, quality, developer & user productivity.

ECP Tutorial Days
