Intel® oneAPI Toolkits Introduction – Programming Framework for heterogenous environments

The KAUST Supercomputing Core Lab and Intel are co-organizing an online workshop on “Intel® oneAPI Toolkits Introduction – Programming Framework for heterogenous environments”

The workshop will run for almost the whole afternoon of November 4th, 2020 including tutorial presentations and short demos showing individual tools in action integrated in individual sessions provided by Intel experts. The agenda of the workshop is as follows:

  • Welcome notes by organizers
  • Session 1
    • oneAPI – Standardization initiative – Motivation and Benefits
    • Transition from Intel Parallel Studio XE Development Framework to Intel oneAPI                                                                                     
    • Intel oneAPI Toolkits
    • Base Toolkits , HPC Tools Kits , AI toolkits
    • Direct programming model (DPC++) and languages available
    • Compatibility tool for porting purposes (from Cuda to oneAPI)
  • Bio Break (5 min)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
  • Session 2
    • oneAPI libraries (oneMKL, oneDPL, etc)  with Demo                                                                                                                              
    • VTune Profiling for heterogenous hardware with Demos
    • Offload Advisor with Demos
    • Beta program and DevCloud Registration and Demo                                                                                                                 
  • Discussion /Q&A

Tip of the week:

CONVERGE is CFD code that is widely used on Shaheen. CONVERGE users can compile user defined functions as shown in the instructions below:
 
version 2.x
========
mkdir udf_test
cd udf_test/
tar -xf /sw/sources/converge/2.4.32/converge_udf-2.4.32.tar.gz 
cd converge_udf-2.4.32
mkdir work_dir
cd work_dir/
cmake ..
ls
make
ls
OUTPUT: You should find the library libconverge_udf.so in the current directory

 

version 3.x
========
mkdir test_1
cd test_1
module load converge/3.0.11
ls echo $CONVERGE_INSTALL_ROOT/
cvg_udf_init
echo $CRAYPE_LINK_TYPE
export CRAYPE_LINK_TYPE=dynamic
echo $CRAYPE_LINK_TYPE
cp /sw/xc40cle7/converge/3.0.11/Convergent_Science_Full_Package-3.0.11/Convergent_Science/CONVERGE/3.0.11/share/examples/io/post/post.c src
cat src/post.c
cd build
cmake ..
make
OUTPUT: You should find the library libconverge_udf.so in the current directory
