This event is a 2-day course whose aim is to help developers of scientific codes to better understand optimization techniques and the usage of advanced tools for profiling and debugging. Participants will have the possibility to work together with CINECA experts on their own codes. The course will be held on 2-3 October and the official language will be English.
- Totalview and gdb dubuggers
- Scalasca and gprof profilers
- Valgrind memory checker.
The course is aimed at final year master students, PhD students, and young researchers in computational sciences and scientific areas with different backgrounds.
The number of participants is limited to 10 students. Applicants will be selected according to their experience and scientific code to work on. Priority will be given to those involved on a PRACE project. Experience with a scientific programming language is required (Fortran, C/C++) and Unix operating system.
Attendance is free. Each student will be given a two weeks access to the CINECA's hybrid cluster PLX.
