Dear NERSC users, Below are some more upcoming training events in Feb 2024 that you are encouraged to attend: 8) Learn to Use Spin to Build Science Gateways at NERSC: Next SpinUp Workshop Starts February 14! Spin is a service platform at NERSC based on Docker container technology. It can be used to deploy science gateways, workflow managers, databases, and all sorts of other services that can access NERSC systems and storage on the back end. New large-memory nodes have been added to the platform, increasing the potential of the platform for new memory-constrained applications. To learn more about how Spin works and what it can do, please listen to the NERSC User News podcast on Spin <https://anchor.fm/nersc-news/episodes/Spin--Interview-with-Cory-Snavely-and-Val-Hendrix-e1pa7p> . Attend an upcoming SpinUp workshop to learn to use Spin for your own science gateway projects! Applications for sessions that begin Wednesday, February 14 are now open <https://www.nersc.gov/spinup-workshop-feb-2024/> SpinUp is hands-on and interactive, so space is limited. Participants will attend an instructional session and a hack-a-thon to learn about the platform, create running services, and learn maintenance and troubleshooting techniques. Local and remote participants are welcome. If you can't make these upcoming sessions, never fear! More sessions are planned for April, June, September, and December. See a video of Spin in action at the Spin documentation <https://docs.nersc.gov/services/spin/> page. 9) Performance Portability for Next-Generation Heterogeneous Systems, February 26 This performance portability overview session, presented by Tom Deakins of University of Bristol, is part of the Performance Portability training series <https://www.nersc.gov/performance-portability-series-2023-2024/> offered by OLCF/NERSC/ALCF. This talk will highlight the opportunities this variety of heterogeneous architectures brings to applications, and how application performance and portability can be rigorously measured and compared across diverse architectures. It will share a strategy for writing performance portable applications and present the roles that ISO languages C++ and Fortran, as well as parallel programming models and abstractions such as OpenMP, SYCL, and Kokkos play in the ever-changing heterogeneous landscape.
