NERSCPowering Scientific Discovery for 50 Years

Introduction to HIP Programming, July 14, 2022

July 14, 2022

Introduction

This session is part of the OLCF’s Preparing for Frontier training series, and is open to NERSC users. 

Overview

HIP is a C++ runtime API that allows developers to write portable code to run on AMD (such as OLCF Frontier) and NVIDIA GPUs (such as NERSC Perlmutter). It is essentially a portability layer (or wrapper) that uses the underlying ROCm or CUDA platform that is installed on a system, and it is meant to have little or no performance impact over coding directly for ROCm or CUDA platforms. 

Target Audience

The target audience for this event are current Summit users who do not yet have access to OLCF’s pre-Frontier (HPE+AMD) systems but would like to start learning how to program GPUs with HIP.  The hands-on sessions will be performed on Summit (HIP is not available on Perlmutter yet) so participants without existing OLCF accounts are welcome to attend to watch the presentation, but they will not be able to participate in the hands-on sessions.  

Date and Time: 10 am - 2 pm (Pacific time), Thursday, July 14, 2022

The format of this event will be online only.

Registration

Registration is required for remote participation.  Please find more information and register at the OLCF event page
