Meet MPCDF: Introduction to the MPCDF HPC Performance Monitoring System

The expanding utilization of HPC services provided by the MPCDF across various

scientific disciplines presents significant challenges for all stakeholders.
From the user’s perspective, the primary concern is the contention for compute
resources. Achieving optimal performance to maximize the efficiency of these
limited resources is, therefore, crucial. To address this need, the MPCDF has
implemented a performance monitoring service featuring a straightforward user
interface. This service generates performance reports per job, offering an
overview of key performance metrics and serving as a preliminary step towards

more comprehensive profiling and performance analysis. In this seminar, we will demonstrate how to identify common scenarios of inefficient resource usage.

Meet MPCDF: A seminar of this series is given on the first Thursday of the month, from 15:30 to 16:30, and features a technical talk (ca. 20-30 minutes) about an AI, HPC or data-related topic given by a staff member of the MPCDF. In addition, this meeting offers the opportunity for the users to informally interact with MPCDF staff, in order to discuss relevant kinds of technical topics. Optionally, questions or requests for specific topics to be covered in more depth can be raised in advance via email to training@mpcdf.mpg.de.

Target audience are intermediate to advanced users of MPCDF services as well as computational scientists and software developers of the MPG. Users seeking a basic introduction to MPCDF services are referred to our semi-annual online workshop "Introduction to MPCDF services" (see above) which offers a consistent introduction for new users of the MPCDF.
