Seminar: A Declarative Approach to Distributed Stream Processing

Date: Wednesday, 6 February 2019
Time: 11:30am–12:30pm
Where: Room 505a, level 5, Axon Building (47), UQ St Lucia
Cost: FREE
No registration required.

Abridged abstract


Processing streams of events generated by sensors and apps has become key to the success of many important applications, ranging from social networks, wearable medical devices and the industrial Internet. However, writing stream processing applications presents engineers with a real challenge. 

This talk will outline an alternative approach, which aims to overcome these difficulties, through an optimiser and run-time system. Enabling this approach requires that both the functional and non-functional requirements are described declaratively.

Professor Paul Watson

Seminar: Sierra, CORAL and OpenMP

Date: Thursday, 14 February 2019
Time: 11:30am–12:30pm
Where: Room 505a, level 5, Axon Building (47), UQ St Lucia
Cost: FREE
No registration required.

Abridged abstract


This talk will provide a detailed look at the design of U.S. HPC Sierra, currently number two on the Top500 (the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world), as well as early application and benchmark results on it.

This talk will also discuss the new features in OpenMP 5.0 that are most expected to impact Sierra's use.

Pawsey workshop: Australia's GPU Hackathon
 

Dates: 25–29 March 2019
Where: Perth
Cost: FREE
Register                              
 

Call for proposals is open

 
The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre will host Australia's GPU Hackathon in March, a free, five-day intensive hands-on mentoring session. It is designed to help computational scientists port their applications to GPUs using libraries, OpenACC, CUDA and other tools.
 
The aim of the hackathon is for current or prospective user groups of large hybrid CPU-GPU systems to send teams of at least three developers along with either (1) a (potentially) scalable application that could benefit from GPU accelerators, or (2) an application running on accelerators that need optimisation. The goal is that the teams leave with applications running on GPUs, or at least with a clear roadmap of how to get there. 

The team proposal deadline is 4 February 2019.
