Acumem’s performance debugger, ThreadSpotter is one such tool and is now available for Windows and Visual Studio.

Unlike a traditional profiler, which only identifies the sections of the application where most of the execution time is spent, a performance debugger automatically monitors and analyzes the behavior of an application, identifies the location and nature of performance bugs and suggests how they can be removed. Acumem’s performance debugger automatically analyzes how well your application makes use of the target multicore architecture, pinpoints performance problems and suggests necessary fixes. Bugs related to both thread interaction and non-optimal use of the memory hierarchy are identified at the click of a button.

During this webcast we will introduce the new performance debugger technology from Acumem that recently has been made available for Windows programmers, both as a stand-alone version and as a Visual Studio plug-in. We will use Acumem ThreadSpotter to demonstrate the analysis and fix of popular open-source applications in minutes. Performance improvements or energy savings of up to 30 times are demonstrated.

However, the migration of applications to a Windows platform can be a learning experience for a typical high-performance computing (HPC) developer with a strong UNIX background. In this webcast, we discuss the anatomy of a typical HPC application and the general porting process. We explain how to use cross-platform development tools such as Cygwin, CMake, Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA), and the migration API reference guide. We also provide an update on the status of OSS solver and I/O libraries.  Powerpoint Presentation 3286 http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/MSDN-Webcast-Migrating-Your-HPC-Applications-to-the-Windows-Platform-Level-300 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 06:02:00 GMT http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/MSDN-Webcast-Migrating-Your-HPC-Applications-to-the-Windows-Platform-Level-300 Wenming Ye Wenming Ye 0 http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/MSDN-Webcast-Migrating-Your-HPC-Applications-to-the-Windows-Platform-Level-300/RSS HPC Server 2008 HPC Server 2008R2 math library migration Science Technical Computing Windows 2000 Server LM Webcast: Windows HPC V3 (or Windows HPC Server 2008 R2) Diagnostics Extensibility

When working with an HPC cluster- including thousands of machines and many different hardware components and software packages- errors and failures are unavoidable. As a result, most HPC administrators spend a large majority of their time on diagnostics. Windows HPC Server 2008, the current version, offers 16 built-in system tests and a GUI and scripting interface to run tests, receive and clear alerts, view results and preserve result history. In the latest release, Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, this diagnostics platform is becoming extensible: administrators and partners can create custom diagnostic tests to run in the same way as the built-in tests. This allows cluster administrators to troubleshoot more easily the custom and non-Microsoft software or hardware added to their HPC cluster.

 

This session will cover:

- What you can do with the extensible diagnostics framework

- How to create a custom diagnostic test, add it to WPHC, run it and view results

- How to aggregate test results for a large scale cluster so that administrator can easily spot the outliers

 ]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/LM-Webcast-Windows-HPC-V3-or-Windows-HPC-Server-2008-R2-Diagnostics-Extensibility When working with an HPC cluster- including thousands of machines and many different hardware components and software packages- errors and failures are unavoidable. As a result, most HPC administrators spend a large majority of their time on diagnostics. Windows HPC Server 2008, the current version, offers 16 built-in system tests and a GUI and scripting interface to run tests, receive and clear alerts, view results and preserve result history. In the latest release, Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, this diagnostics platform is becoming extensible: administrators and partners can create custom diagnostic tests to run in the same way as the built-in tests. This allows cluster administrators to troubleshoot more easily the custom and non-Microsoft software or hardware added to their HPC cluster.   This session will cover: - What you can do with the extensible diagnostics framework - How to create a custom diagnostic test, add it to WPHC, run it and view results - How to aggregate test results for a large scale cluster so that administrator can easily spot the outliers - Ideas for tests to help validating or troubleshooting ISV apps 3251 http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/LM-Webcast-Windows-HPC-V3-or-Windows-HPC-Server-2008-R2-Diagnostics-Extensibility Sat, 13 Mar 2010 06:02:00 GMT http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/LM-Webcast-Windows-HPC-V3-or-Windows-HPC-Server-2008-R2-Diagnostics-Extensibility Wenming Ye Wenming Ye 0 http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/LM-Webcast-Windows-HPC-V3-or-Windows-HPC-Server-2008-R2-Diagnostics-Extensibility/RSS Diagnostics HPC HPC Server 2008 HPC Server 2008R2 MSDN Webcast: Taking Scientific Computing Mainstream with Windows Client & Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 (Level 200) Powerpoint resentation link
]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/MSDN-Webcast-Taking-Scientific-Computing-Mainstream-with-Windows-Client--Windows-HPC-Server-2008-R2- The Windows operating systems are well known for binary compatibility, and this extends to high-performance computing (HPC) applications. In this webcast, we explain how on Windows the same Message Passing Interface (MPI) executable can run on a workstation or across a large cluster without having to recompile, making development, testing, and supporting of HPC software easier and lowering the barrier of entry for HPC application users. Learn how to take advantage of this capability with popular open-source code such as WRF, NAMD, GROMACS, VisIt, ParaView, HDF5, and PETSc, giving you the ability to deploy and popularize your scientific software as widely as possible. Powerpoint resentation link 4724 http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/MSDN-Webcast-Taking-Scientific-Computing-Mainstream-with-Windows-Client--Windows-HPC-Server-2008-R2- Sat, 13 Mar 2010 06:01:00 GMT http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/MSDN-Webcast-Taking-Scientific-Computing-Mainstream-with-Windows-Client--Windows-HPC-Server-2008-R2- Wenming Ye Wenming Ye 0 http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The+HPC+Show/MSDN-Webcast-Taking-Scientific-Computing-Mainstream-with-Windows-Client--Windows-HPC-Server-2008-R2-/RSS HPC Server 2008 HPC Server 2008R2 math library migration Science Technical Computing Windows 2000 Server Windows HPC Server 2008 ISVs and Tools: what you need to know to drive your business Just for partners!  Learn how to integrate and deliver complete Windows HPC Server solutions to your customers.

In a hybrid environment, the Rocks+ head node provides the same services as in a homogeneous Rocks+ environment. The Rocks+ standard node discovery process is largely unchanged, except that when a hybrid node is discovered, the system is automatically configured for the dual-boot nature of the hybrid nodes. Newly discovered nodes will install both Linux and Windows operating systems onto the local drive without user intervention, then return to running Rocks+ at the end of the install process – ready to run end-user applications in either operating system.

Rocks+ also enables continued management and maintenance of hybrid clusters with Windows HPC Server. Rocks+ uses an end-to-end Linux-Windows deployment scheme any time a change is made to the stack, which means nodes are set in a known good state.  This allows for simple maintenance, upgrades, and even push-button replacements of failed nodes.  Adding a node to a Rocks+Hybrid cluster is as simple as powering the server on with it set to PXE (network) boot.  Don't miss this informative webcast!
