Our goal with this hackathon is to unite Master II-level HPC students in a virtual competition focused on computational codes provided by industrial users.<\/p>\n
This virtual competition will rely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) instances based on ARM technologies. Indeed, the target architectures (AWS Graviton 4) offer certain approaches (software ecosystem, design) that motivate a specific effort compared to traditional Intel or AMD type architectures. Typically, on the Graviton 4 processor, we can mention the use of SIMD units (Scalable Vector Extension\/SVE2 compared to AVX2 or AVX-512 on x86 architectures) or the availability of 12 DDR5 memory channels.<\/p>\n
This hackathon is structured around computational codes, software environments and hardware solutions that have already been tested by industry. The compilation recipes and optimization phases have been validated before the event. The students will therefore be in a framework close to a guided practical session with the opportunity to increase their understanding of industrial issues around high- performance simulation. No specific contributions from students in terms of porting or optimization are expected (these codes are largely proven in a production context and on multiple hardware architectures). The participants will nevertheless be credited by the industrial partners (the codes have an open status) in case of significant advances.<\/p>\n
\n
Details<\/strong><\/p>\n Students are encouraged to take an iterative approach to porting and optimizing these industrial codes\/kernels. The latter are of different nature\/complexity and will allow the deployment of the classical phases of taking control of a scientific application. The evaluation of the teams (4 students maximum per team) will be based on the following points:<\/p>\n – Arm, Nvidia and GNU compilers will be available during the hackathon. Students will also have access to various code profiling tools.<\/p>\n – The synthesis of the obtained results (compilation recipes, validation procedure, optimization, loops extraction …) will be made available on a Git repository in order to facilitate the evaluation and the reproducibility.<\/p>\n Proposed codes \/ Identified Kernels (September 2024)<\/p>\n EDF: Code_Aster<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Code_Aster reconciles the following two objectives:<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Providing a reliable, robust, and high-performance simulation software for engineering studies, within a framework of development and distribution under quality assurance.

In addition to the standard features of thermo-mechanical simulation software, Code_Aster is particularly rich in constitutive laws, finite elements, and load types. Its area of excellence lies in non-linear simulations, particularly in the fields of civil engineering, fracture mechanics, and geo-materials.<\/p>\n
