Description

The C++ programming language is a systems-level language pervasive in many areas including scientific computing. This complex language provides users with a multitude of approaches to solving complex tasks, but not all programming paradigms or approaches are equal in terms of performance.

Abstract Part 1 Lecture

LUMI Hackathon

The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) isthe European body created in 2018 and located in Luxembourg to lead the way in European supercomputing. It is composed of the public members (European Union represented by the European Commission), Members States and Associated Countries and public members.

LUMI is one of the two EuroHPC pre-exascale systems. While still under assembling, it will be a mostly GPU-accelerated system, built by HPE-Cray using AMD Epyc CPUs and AMD Instinct GPUs. It is operated by CSC, the national supercomputer centre of Finland and it is jointly funded by EuroHPC and a consortium of ten countries, including Belgium. As part of the agreement, some compute time is therefore reserved for Belgian users.
