LUMI Training - Practical course on the CUDA to HIP porting
CSC and the LUMI User Support Team organize their first training day that will focus on porting CUDA applications to HIP. This training aims to help the users to port their code to LUMI, the European pre-exascale supercomputer, that will achieve its high computing power thanks to a large number of nodes with AMD GPUs. This event will take place on February 26.
This session will provide an extensive dive into the Hipify tools, many examples and a hands-on session. If you’re developing your code with CUDA and wish to harness the computing power of LUMI in the future this training is a fantastic opportunity.
You can find further details and the registration form here.

HERCULES2 installed at UNamur
The HPC cluster Hercules2 is now installed and available for use. It has a total of 1536 cores spread among 30 new nodes with AMD Epyc processors and 32 nodes with Sandy Bridge Intel Xeons which were kept from its predecesor Hercules.
With the new nodes going from 256 GB up to 2 TB of RAM, it is meant to take the place as the high memory CÉCI cluster. If you have large memory jobs to run, try it!
