Abstract

In this session we will cover some of the most popular and effective GPU accelerated libraries that give high performance without the requirement of writing your own custom GPU code. We will cover CUDA-X which has libraries for math, image/video processing, deep learning, and GPU tailored partner libraries. On top of CUDA-X we will cover RAPIDS which will target data science and data analytics workloads. We will conclude the session with interactive coverage of NVIDIAs profiling tools. We will conclude with a brief coverage of Python specific tools we have like CuPy and Numba for customizable GPU accelerated code. By the end of the workshop, you'll have the skills to utilize existing GPU accelerated libraries and write your own Python codes with NVIDIA GPUs!

Learning Objectives:

  • Introduce RAPIDS and CUDA-X for drop-in GPU-accelerated libraries
  • Introduce CuPy and Numba for GPU accelerated Python code

Singularity Training

Tip

Singularity is now called Apptainer but it is functionally the same.

Singularity containers let users run applications in a Linux environment of their choosing.  This is different from Docker which is not appropriate for HPC due to security concerns.  Singularity is like a container for Docker images, but is not just for Docker.  

The most important thing to know is that you create the singularity container called an image on a workstation where you have root privileges, and then transfer the image to HPC where you can execute the image. If root authority is an issue then the answer might be a virtual environmen t on your laptop, like Vagrant for MacOS

For an overview and more detailed information refer to:
Singularity Quick Start

Here are some of the use cases we support using Singularity:

  • Portability and reproducibility
  • You already use Docker and want to run your jobs on HPC
  • You want to preserve your environment so that a system change will not affect your work
  • You need newer or different libraries than are offered on HPC systems
  • Someone else developed the workflow using a different version of linux
  • You prefer to use something other than Red Hat / CentOS, like Ubuntu

* XSEDE, the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment, is the most advanced, powerful, and robust collection of integrated digital resources and services in the world. It is a single virtual system that scientists and researchers can use to interactively share computing resources, data, and expertise. XSEDE integrates the resources and services, makes them easier to use, and helps more people use them.

Data Center Video Tour

You may not get to see the actual supercomputers where you work is done, but you can watch this tour.  Note how loud it is in the room.  The video does not convey the temperature of the room, but there are no warm areas. As you will hear explained, the cooling is done with chilled water.
