1. Nordic High Performance Computing & Applications Workshop 2018 Helmut Neukirchen University of Iceland helmut@hi.is

2. Workshop organisers • Prof. Dr. Helmut Neukirchen @ University of Iceland • Software Engineering for Distributed Systems, Big Data, Cloud computing • Prof. Dr. Matthias Book @ University of Iceland • Software Engineering • Prof. Dr. Morris Riedel @ University of Iceland and Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Germany • High-Performance Computing (HPC), Big Data • Our Vision: Better Software Engineering for HPC. • Systematic inception, development and maintenance of HPC code. • Many thanks to all presenters! Helmut Neukirchen

3. Workshop idea • Expertise at University of Iceland, e.g. • Faculty of Industrial Eng., Mechanical Eng., Computer Science, • Applications: Physics, Chemistry, Earth Science, … • University of Iceland’s Division of Information Technology (UTS): • Máni Maríus Viðarsson • IHPC cluster and community http://ihpc.is/ • and also at other Icelandic research institutions. • Still, expertise in some advanced topics lacking.  Combined workshop of internal and external experts! Helmut Neukirchen 3

4. And now for something completely different… • What have the Nordic Council and the EU ever done for us researchers (and citizens)? • Let’s see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5D0t6ejcGEstarting from 0:56 Helmut Neukirchen

5. NeIC Funding • Workshop kindly funded by NeIC, the Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration: • Goal: making the Nordics capable of tackling e-infrastructure challenges beyond what is possible on singular national scale. • Distributed organisation of technical experts from academic HPC centres across the Nordic countries. • Close collaboration with the Nordic e-Infrastructure Providers: UNINETT Sigma2, SNIC, CSC, DeIC, RHnet. • NeIC hosted by NordForsk, the Nordic research funding organisation under the Nordic Council. Helmut Neukirchen

6. How can you benefit from NeIC? • Training calendar: • https://neic.no/training/ • Travel grants for interesting courses within the Nordic countries. • Both directions: bring trainers to trainees (=this workshop) and vice versa. • Code Refinery: • Training workshops to create sustainable, modular, reusable, and reproducible research software. • University of Iceland Code Refinery: 21.-23. August 2018. • Registration and info: http://coderefinery.org • Dellingr: • If your own HPC resources are not sufficient, apply for access to other Nordic clusters. https://dellingr.neic.no/ • Just a few examples – further info: https://neic.no/ Helmut Neukirchen

7. Further Funding and Associations • EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme: Simulation & Data Science Center of Excellence SIMDAS • http://www.simdas.eu/ • EU Horizon 2020 Future and Emerging Technologies programme: DEEP – Extreme Scale Technologies (DEEP-EST). • https://www.deep-est.eu • NordForsk Nordic Center of Excellence eSTICC (eScience Tools for Investigating Climate Change at High Northern Latitudes). • https://esticc.net Helmut Neukirchen

8. Back to this workshop:Organisational issues • For presenters and registered participants: • Lunch vouchers valid for lunch in Háma. • Two different dishes, alternatively soup or food from shelf/fridge. • Coffee breaks. • Internet access via Eduroam – or your own 3G/4G connection. • Power plugs underneath the front of your table. • Jötunn cluster account (was email with info sent)!? • Who needs a certificate of participation? • Anyone attending who did not register? • Evaluation via online survey after the workshop. Helmut Neukirchen
