ALCF Getting Started on Aurora Bootcamp, Feb 2025

Introduction

ALCF is providing a Getting Started on Aurora Bootcamp with a dedicated hands-on and Q&A session. The event is open to NERSC users to attend either the Feb 12 or Feb 25 session. This bootcamp will introduce attendees to using Aurora, Argonne's exascale machine, and aimed at participants with experiences using clusters or supercomputers.

Topics covered include:

• what to expect on an early production machine such as file system, stability, and job size
• best practices for running, compiling (env variables, like JIT, checkpointing)
• hardware overview
• ddt and gdb debugger
• profilers (iprof, VTune, advisor)
• AI frameworks, Python
• DAOS
• Q&A

All the tutorials will become available on our GitHub repository and this bootcamp will be a live demonstration. Users can run along with the demo to ask questions and get help. Please note that the hands-on portion is targeted for users who already have access to Aurora. No new accounts will be provisioned for the bootcamp.
