Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

PeCoH has brought Hamburg HPC centers closer together. A broad range of topics was covered: improvement in scientific coding by employing: software engineering concepts and code co-development; raising performance awareness by modelling HPC usage cost and integration of cost-reports in the SLURM batch system; Hamburg HPC Competence Center (HHCC) was established. Most progress was made in certification and training: topics were structured in a skill tree; a framework for producing training material was developed; training material Getting started with HPC clusters was written; a Workshop on HPC Training, Education and Documentation was organized; as a spin-off the The HPC Certification Forum was founded, where development of the PeCoH skill tree is continued. Furthermore parallelization of R, Gaussian and MATLAB was studied and very interesting results were obtained with automatic software tuning: based on genetic algorithms; using a Black Box Optimizer (BBO).
