PAX-HPC General Training on Performance Analysis and Debugging
This event will include training on performance analysis and debugging tools on ARCHER2/Cirrus followed by a hackathon when attendees will be able to work together on their codes using the tools. The main aim is to help attendees to better understand the behaviour and performance of their own codes
Room G.03, Bayes Centre, The University of Edinburgh, 47 Potterrow, Edinburgh, EH8 9BT
