8th bwHPC Symposium

Published: 7 Apr 2022 by bwHPC Symposium Team

The 8th bwHPC Symposium this year will take place on

November 28, 2022

and will be hosted at the High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS).

The bwHPC symposium offers a unique opportunity to actively engage in a dialog between scientific users, operators of bwHPC services, and the bwHPC support centers. Its focus is on the presentation of scientific projects and success stories carried out with the help of bwHPC high-performance computing in the context of the BaWü data federation.

The symposium will be free of charge and open to researchers from all scientific fields. Currently, the bwHPC symposium is planned as a face-to-face event. If necessitated by the infection situation, a switch to an online event is possible.

Information on the registration and the agenda will follow in due time and will also be available online:

UPDATE 11.07.2022

Registration is now open.

Deadline for registration is November 13, 2022.

The AMD Genoa, Machine Learning and AI partitions for NEMO2 were delivered on December 4th. The acceptance of the storage has been delayed, so that NEMO2 could not yet start this year. However, calculations with the Milan nodes in NEMO1 are still possible.

The Genoa partition for NEMO2 will be delivered on December 4th, at the same time all old NEMO1 nodes will be removed. To ease the transition, some new Milan nodes will be booted into NEMO1 environment and will remain available until at least January 31st. Users are encouraged to switch to the new Milan nodes and use the ‘milan’ queue for their jobs (-q milan). If demand increases, additional nodes will be added next week. The launch of NEMO2 is delayed due to unavailable storage, with further updates on testing and data transfer to follow once it becomes available.

The Weka Storage and Milan partition have been successfully delivered for the new NEMO2 cluster. Testing, benchmarking, and system configuration will take place in the coming weeks. We anticipate starting with limited functionality and gradually expanding it over time. A portion of the old NEMO cluster had to be shut down to accommodate the installation of the Milan partition.
