Workshops

We will begin the last day of the conference with five parallel workshops. The participants can choose which one to attend when registering to the conference. There will be a coffee break arranged during the workshops. There will be more information provided of each of the workshops closer to the event.  

LUMI high-performance computing

Speakers: the LUMI training team

The workshop consists of four parts: 

  • General introduction to EuroHPC LUMI - Jørn Dietze (LUST)
  • Programming for LUMI GPUs -  Jussi Heikonen (CSC, FI)
  • How to use LUMI (Run jobs and use software) - Jørn Dietze (LUST)
  • How to access LUMI (Puhuri portal by the NeIC Puhuri project) - Ahti Saar (UT, EE) and Jarno Laitinen (CSC, FI)

Programming for LUMI GPUs: While utilizing GPUs is nothing new in HPC it is still a field in active development and especially when AMD hardware is targeted. We'll discuss the various approaches available for LUMI keeping in mind portability and legacy codes. HIP/Cuda together with directive based models and frameworks will be covered. Finally, we'll present some emerging tools for Fortan.

Agenda:

08:30 - 09:00  General introduction to EuroHPC LUMI

09:00 - 09:30  How to access LUMI (Puhuri portal by the NeIC Puhuri project)

09:30 - 10:00  How to use LUMI (Run jobs and use software)

10:00 - 10:15  Break

10:15 - 10:45  Programming for LUMI GPUs

10:45 - 11:00  General discussion

Quantum computing

Speakers: Göran Wendin (Chalmers, SE), Jake Muff (CSC, FI)

Quantum computing is coming, time to get ready!

In this workshop, we will have a look at the convergence of high-performance computing and quantum computing. Computational modelling is in the future expected to be accelerated by quantum computers.
 
We start with a presentation of the recently launched NeIC project, Nordic-Estonian Quantum Computing e-Infrastructure Quest (NordIQuEst), by Prof. Göran Wendin (Chalmers). NordIQuEst is a cross-border collaboration of seven partners from five NeIC member states, that will combine several HPC resources and quantum computers into one unified Nordic quantum computing platform.

This is followed by a practical approach to quantum programming. In order to use quantum computers, novel quantum algorithms are required. These can, and should! be developed already now. After an introduction of the basics, we will program and run a simple quantum algorithm using jupyter notebooks (python) and myQLM.This will be followed by a short hands on session where you will create a Quantum Random Number Generator.

Agenda:

08:30 - 09:15 Göran Wendin: NordiQuEst HPC-QC ecosystem

09:15 - 10:15 Jake Muff: Quantum Hello World

10:15 - 10:30 Break

10:30 - 11:00 Jake Muff: Hands on Quantum Random Number Generator
 
Prerequisite: own laptop recommended; no previous experience with quantum computing expected

HPC Containers

Speakers: Christian Kniep (QNIB Solutions)

Containers with the build-once-run-everywhere principle have become very popular for scientific use cases. The majority of HPC platforms for research now support container runtimes. This workshop will introduce several container platforms (Docker, Singularity, Sarus and Podman) and provide hands-on MPI and GPU examples.

Sensitive data

Speakers: Marcus Lundberg (Uppsala University, SE), Francesca Morello (CSC, FI), Eirik Haatveit (USIT/UiO, NO), Hossein Aghili (DTU, DK)

Sensitive data is data that needs to be protected against unauthorized access. Protection of data may be required for legal or ethical reasons, for issues pertaining to personal privacy, or for proprietary considerations. Nordic sensitive data services provides facilities for storing and analysing sensitive data for reseachers, organizations and educational purposes. 

This workshop is a collection of demos/presentations by experts representing the service providers on the scope and usage of the services, and is organised by EOSC-Nordic WP5

Agenda:

08:30 - 09:00   CSC Sensitive Data Services - Francesca Morello

09:00 - 09:30   UiO Services for Sensitive Data (TSD) - Eirik Haatveit

09:30 - 10:00   DTU Computerome - Hossein Aghili

10:00 - 10:30   SNIC Bianca - Marcus Lundberg

10:30 - 11:00   Discussion + Q&A

Portals and cloud

Speakers: Lorand Szentannai (UNINETT Sigma2), Anne Fouilloux (UiO), Tewodros Deneke (CSC), Kessy Abarenkov (UT)

Galaxy is an open-source platform for FAIR data analysis that enables users to:

  • use tools from various domains (that can be plugged into workflows) through its graphical web interface;
  • run code in interactive environments (RStudio, Jupyter...) along with other tools or workflows;
  • manage data by sharing and publishing results, workflows, and visualizations; and
  • ensure reproducibility by capturing the necessary information to repeat and understand data analyses.

PlutoF is a Data management and Publishing Platform. In PlutoF, you can manage your full data lifecycle. From Data Management Plan to the publishing and archiving your datasets in machine readable format.

This is a training workshop on the usage and implementations of Galaxy and PlutoF tools 

Agenda:

08:30 - 09:15   EOSC services for FAIR Climate Sciences (Galaxy portal, Pangeo, ADAM-API, Rohub) - Anne Fouilloux (UiO)

09:15 - 10:00   PlutoF Data management and analysis platform - Kessy Abarenkov (UT)

10:00 - 10:40   Cross border cloud computing (NIRD toolkit, FEDn framework, and Ucloud) - Lorand Szentannai (Sigma2), Tewodros Deneke (CSC), Dan Sebastian Thrane (SDU) 

10:40 - 11:00   Discussion + Q&A
