SUMMARY:GPU Computing and Programming on Expanse
DESCRIPTION:This webinar provides a brief introduction to massively paralle
 l computing with graphics processing units (GPUs) on the SDSC Expanse supe
 rcomputer. The use of GPUs is popular across all scientific domains both f
 or traditional simulations and AI applications since GPUs can significantl
 y accelerate time to solution for many data parallel computational tasks. 
 In this webinar, participants will learn how to access Expanse GPU nodes, 
 how to launch GPU jobs on Expanse, and get introduced to GPU programming. 
 The webinar will cover the essential background of GPU chip architectures 
 and the basics of programming GPUs with the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit and HPC SD
 K via the use of libraries, OpenACC compiler directives, and the CUDA prog
 ramming language. We will also briefly discuss performance analysis with N
 VIDIA Nsight profilers. The participants will thus acquire the foundation 
 to use and develop GPU aware applications. --- Andreas Goetz, Ph.D.Direc
 tor - Computational Chemistry Laboratory, SDSC  Andreas Goetz leads the c
 omputational chemistry efforts at SDSC, working at the intersection of che
 mistry, biophysics, and scientific computing. His research draws on quantu
 m mechanics, statistical mechanics, molecular dynamics, and machine learni
 ng approaches to enable simulations of complex molecular systems from atmo
 spheric chemistry to computational drug design on massively parallel compu
 ter architectures. He is a contributing author to the ADF and QUICK quantu
 m chemistry software and the AMBER software for biomolecular simulations, 
 which are widely used in academic and industrial research. His research ha
 s been supported by NSF, DOE, NIH, Intel, AMD and Nvidia. Andreas also enj
 oys training the next generation of scientists in software engineering and
  numerical simulation methods via lectures, workshops and supervision of i
 nterns. He is author of over 70 scientific publications and editor of the 
 book 'Electronic structure calculations on GPUs'. Prior to joining SDSC in
  2009 Andreas performed postdoctoral research at the VU University in Amst
 erdam and obtained his undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from t
 he University of Erlangen in Germany.
