bwHPC Symposium 2016
Dear Sir or Madam,
on behalf of the bwHPC-C5 project (www.bwhpc-c5.de) we invite you to participate in the upcoming 3rd bwHPC symposium on October 12, 2016 hosted at Heidelberg University, Marsilius-Kolleg.
The symposium focuses on presenting and discussing your scientific computing projects and results as well as the progress and achievements of the bwHPC initiative and the bwHPC-C5 project. The symposium will be the ideal platform for the dialogue between you, the bwHPC operators and the bwHPC-C5 support teams.
For the agenda and registration please visit the following website:

Intel Xeon Phi x200 (Knights Landing): Performance Impressions and Best Practices
Speaker: Hans Pabst, Application Engineer for High Performance and Throughput Computing
Subtitle: Case study focusing on Quantum Espresso and CP2K
Abstract: This presentation gives a brief overview and reference of Intel Xeon Phi x200 family (codenamed Knights Landing or KNL), and thereby focuses on ISA-level enhancements when compared to the previous generation of Intel’s Manycore Architecture. The talk gives special focus on Xeon Phi’s NUMA clustering and how to take advantage of the High Bandwidth Memory portion (with and without code changes). For the two application cases (physics domain), the presentation walks through five very basic steps of getting an application ready for Knights Landing: (1) building an optimized application, (2) selecting the cluster/memory mode, (3) process pinning, and thread affinitization, (4) performance profiling, and (5) code modernization and optimization.
Tesla P100 GPU and DGX-1 Deep Learning Appliances
Speaker: Ralph Hinsche (Nvidia), Business Development Manager
Abstract:The binAC cluster in Tübingen, running on Tesla GPUs, is a step to accelerated computing and deep learning applications. This tech talk gives a short overview how the binAC cluster is built and continues with an outlook to the Tesla P100 platform and its performance features.
