LUMI Intensive Course

Between the 3rd and 7th of March this year, PDC hosted an intensive course on using the CPU and GPU partitions of the LUMI system (LUMI-C and LUMI-G). LUMI is a EuroHPC Joint Undertaking pre-exascale supercomputer system that is based in Kajaani, Finland. Swedish researchers can access the LUMI system using time allocations that are decided by the National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden (NAISS). (For information about applying for time via NAISS, see www.naiss.se/resource/lumi .)

The course was run by the LUMI HPE Centre of Excellence (HPE CoE), AMD and the LUMI User Support Team (LUST). It was designed for researchers who were either working on ongoing projects on LUMI or who had submitted a project proposal for access to LUMI. The course was split into two parts, with the first two days covering an initial introduction to LUMI, and the final three days going into more detailed and advanced usage of the system. Researchers could attend either or both parts of the course, which was offered in person at the KTH main campus in Stockholm and also online, with a peak of seven onsite users and forty-five online users attending.
