The “Workshop on HPC (High Performance Computing) co-design in computational materials and molecular science” will gather contributions from leading scientists, technologies, and SW engineers from the fields of academia, HPC centres, HW-vendors, and industry. The workshop covers a broad range of current topics, taking materials and molecular science codes as reference HPC applications and possible co-design vehicles. The workshop will take place between October 3, 2022 and October 5, 2022, at the CECAM-HQ-EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. The NOMAD Encyclopedia is a web-based public infrastructure that provides this materials-oriented view on the NOMAD Repository & Archive. In this tutorial we will discuss how to navigate the materials space using the Encyclopedia GUI as well as the more advanced tasks which are possible using the Encyclopedia API. In order to harvest the richness contained in presently known and future materials-science data, four pillars need to be concurrently developed: FAIR-compliant materials databases. Topics: We can help on optimizing applications using a variety of programming models. We also have mentors from many disciplines, including computer scientists and domain scientists. We will make sure we have the right mentors for you in case your application is selected. Note that this is not a GPU-only hackathon. The CHARISMA Raman School 2022 aims to attract Raman scholars and manufacturers from all over the world to get together and exchange information and ideas about the current state of Raman-related research. The 3rd virtual Research Data Day at the Rhein-Main Univerisities is dedicated to virtual infrastructures which support research data management. This will include the workshop "FAIRes Forschungsdaten Management mit NOMAD" (FAIR research data management with NOMAD) by Markus Scheidgen, FAIRmat's infrastructure coordinator. The objectives of this course are to understand the fundamental concepts supporting message-passing and shared memory programming models. The course covers the two widely used programming models: MPI for the distributed-memory environments, and OpenMP for the shared-memory architectures. The course also presents the main tools developed at BSC to get information and analyze the execution of parallel applications, Paraver and Extrae. Bringing eigensolvers and electronic-structure codes to exascale architectures requires further, considerable community efforts in the coming years. To facilitate and coordinate these efforts, this workshop aims at bringing together the key players from different fields. The workshop will take place between November 16, 2022 and November 18, 2022, at the CECAM-HQ-EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. The MPCDF "Advanced HPC workshop" (for MPG and NOMAD, in collaboration with Nvidia and Intel) has been scheduled for Nov 22-24, 2022. There will be 1.5 days of tutorials and 1.5 days of "code camp". Elsa A. Olivetti will talk about Text and Data Mining for Materials Development.Upcoming events
Identification of proper descriptors and metrics for capturing the similarity amongst materials.
Artificial-intelligence (AI) approaches for exploratory analysis.
Scalable implementations.
In this workshop, experts in all these aspects will interact to confront ideas and solutions for performing flexible, interactive, efficient, and insightful analyses of materials databases.
Past events
2022
With this event, NFDI4Cat attempts to bring together scientists, researchers and practitioners working to make the move from current research (local vocabularies, unstructured data, different data formats....) to sustainable FAIR research data management and digitalisation. During this event, NFDI4Cat will showcase the latest research and development in research data management for all steps of catalysis research and facilitate further exchange and collaboration on digital catalysis.
The FAIRmat workshop on data exchange and storage in ellipsometry will take place on September 22-23, 2022 in Leipzig. The aim of the workshop is to lay the foundation for a cooperation of users and vendors to work together on making ellipsometry data FAIR, i.e. Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-purposable. In this workshop, we will address especially the following topics:
- The need of data storage and accessibility.
- How to organize an efficient data exchange in the community and between research groups.
- How vendors can support the community and the FAIRmat project.
- Requirements of the application definitions or schemas for organizing meta data
- How to store data in a machine- as well as human-readable way.
The 13th NOBUGS Conference will be held at Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen, Switzerland at September 19-22, 2022. The goal of the NOBUGS (New Opportunities for Better User Group Software) Conference Series is to foster collaboration and exchange between scientists and IT professionals working on software for X-ray, neutron and muon sources from around the world.
This is the first meeting of an initiaitve to organize a series on workshops to reach a consensus on how to annotate the quality of stored data.
NFDI Physical Sciences Joint Colloquium on The Phase Diagram of All Inorganic Materials
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) currently offers a number of courses covering CUDA architecture and programming languages for parallel computing. Please contact us for possible collaborations.
The 12th edition of the Programming and Tuning Massively Parallel Systems + Artificial Intelligence summer school (PUMPS+AI) is aimed at enriching the skills of researchers, graduate students and teachers with cutting-edge technique and hands-on experience in developing applications for many-core processors with massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators.
This flagship workshop and associated hands-on tutorial school will focus on recent important developments, addressing exascale computing and artificial intelligence (AI) methods with a specific focus on urgent topics for materials science.
The workshop hence aims at updating the audience about new and upcoming possibilities. For this, we will have lectures from top HPC centers from Europe, USA and Japan. In particular, we will address how exascale computing can help materials modeling in terms of higher accuracy and precision, and more controlled scale bridging. We will also discuss advancements of AI methods and exascale workflows.
Welcome to the second International FAIR-DI Conference on a FAIR Data Infrastructure for Materials Genomics (2022) in Shanghai!
- Developing electronic-structure codes and libraries (mainly WP2 and WP8, but also WP1 and WP3)
- One-day tutorial (Performance analysis tools for applications in high-performance computing) with participation of local researchers
The central goal of the workshop is to discuss the state of the art and challenges of using quantum chemistry methods in materials science, to share the recent progresses in quantum chemistry, and to deepen the coalescence of two communities: molecular quantum-chemistry and solid state physics.
In addition, this workshop will focus on the computer implementation of massive parallel algorithms to perform quantum chemical calculations on modern supercomputers. This workshop will bring together some of the world's leading experts in the development of massively parallel algorithms for quantum chemistry calculations to foster cooperation and catalyze scientific software innovation.
The Open Databases Integration for Materials Design (OPTIMADE) consortium aims to make materials databases interoperable by developing a specification for a common REST API.
With the support of CECAM, the OPTIMADE consortium holds annual workshops to discuss and develop the specification and related ideas. The latest 2022 workshop will be held in the CECAM HQ at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, between May 30 and June 3, 2022.
The ABINIT developer workshops form a series of events crucial for the community of ABINIT developers (see http://www.abinit.org), organized every two years. A unique occasion for most developers to acquire or maintain a global view of the project and stay up to date with the latest capabilities, planned developments, and overall strategy. The 2022 event specifically focuses on in-person small group discussions, thematic discussions, informal discussions, hackathons, etc. that strongly missed during the COVID pandemics.
