ZIH at the SC17 in Denver

The SC17 in Denver (Colorado, USA) is the most important conference in the field of high-performance computing (HPC) and will take place from 12 to 17 November 2017.

In talks, tutorials and discussions, as well as on its own exhibition stand (booth #1881), the ZIH will present its know-how on the topics of HPC, data intensive computing as well as grid and cloud computing.

In addition to current research work and software developments, at our booth #1881 we will present our activities in the field of big data and data analysis. The two main topics are online performance analysis and analysis of applications' I/O behavior. Thus, visitors can try out the interactive online analysis prototype Vampir Live and experience new I/O analysis capabilities of Vampir.

As the I/O behavior of applications is becoming a bottleneck on the way to exascale high-performance computers, novel I/O systems based on non-volatile memory technologies address this. Together with the european Horizon2020 project NEXTGenIO, the I/O analysis capabilities of the tools Score-P and Vampir have been significantly enhanced.
The online analysis approach presents strategies for dealing with limited I/O capacities on the tool side as well.
