SC Students HPC Crash Course
SessionStudent Programming
DescriptionThis event, which will take place from 9:00-3:00 on November 13 in person at SC in rooms 705-707, is open to anyone interested in learning more about High-Performance Computing (HPC). Participants will receive an overview of HPC programming environments, parallel programming models, job schedulers, and job launchers. Afterward, they will be directed to self-guided HPC challenges covering basic parallel programming, AI, and GPU programming topics. These challenges will be performed on OLCF’s Frontier Exascale system and Purdue’s Anvil Supercomputer. Frontier is the currently the most powerful supercomputing in the world. Students will have access to Frontier during the workshop and to Anvil afterward until December 13 to complete the exercises required for an HPC Crash Course certificate.
Pre-Workshop Session:
We will host pre-workshop help sessions on November 7 to review requirements, what to expect, and why you should know about HPC at 1:00 p.m. ET and 7:00 p.m. ET.
To attend one of the help sessions, please put your email in this sheet and indicate which time works for you. We will send you the joining link before November 7, 2023.

Frontier Access Requirements: Eligible participants will be provided access tokens and usernames for Frontier during the workshop. To gain access to Frontier:
1. Bring a government-issued photo ID to the workshop for quick access vetting.
2. Bring an internet-ready Laptop to the event.
3. Note that foreign nationals from countries listed in section 15 CFR 740.7 License Exceptions for Computers (including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria) may require a lengthy approval process for access to DOE supercomputers. If approval cannot be obtained in time for the Crash Course, affected participants can apply to work on Anvil.
Anvil Access Requirements: Participants who need more time to complete exercises after the workshop or who cannot gain access to Frontier can apply for access to Anvil. It is strongly recommended that participants apply for Anvil access ahead of the workshop.
To apply for Anvil access, follow these steps:
1. For participants who do not have ACCESS ID already, Please go to https://identity.access-ci.org/new-user and follow the instructions listed here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LA9MjC__fow7Yr-NEmGTCTqLs0ZV26_Z/view?usp=share_link.
2. Once you have the access ID please enter it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ApA3vfa_jvzzmgNXu3LMPQHhHtx7foZPzD49MWs8FFk/edit?usp=sharing. Once we have your Access ID, Anvil admins will add your access.
