Greetings NERSC SP User,
NERSC is pleased to announce its next training event, to
be held on Monday, November 3. David Skinner, of NERSC's
User Services Group, will be presenting the following talk:
9:00 - 10:30 PST
Scaling I/O and Communication
This lecture will include a brief overview of how MPI is
implemented on the IBM SP followed by details on how the
implementation performs at high concurrency alongside
information on how to mitigate several common problems
encountered when scaling up codes. This will be followed
by a discussion of parallel I/O and a look at a few parallel
I/O strategies for GPFS on seaborg.
The lectures will be presented on the Access Grid, with an
accompanying audio conference, and experimental live streaming on
the Web via Real Media. Complete information, including links to the
presentation materials, may be found at:

All NERSC users are welcome to attend. To reserve a seat for attendance
in person, please contact training_at_nersc_dot_gov. Attendance via the Access
Grid, by teleconference, or via Real Player is free to all interested
parties. We also solicit feedback on the media streaming: how well does
it work for you, and which system/browser combination do you use to
access it?
