Most of the Alliance national s
ystems have been undergoing a major upgrade during this spring and summer.
They have been effectively rebuilt from scratch using up-to-date hardware
\, bringing a significant increase in computing capacity\, memory\, and st
orage to the users. The upgraded clusters have new names: Graham became Ni
bi\, Beluga - Rorqual\, Cedar - Fir\, Niagara - Trillium. (The remaining c
luster - Narval - is not having an upgrade this cycle.) Some of the upgrad
ed systems are already online\, not at a full capacity yet. The plan is to
make all of them available by the end of July.
This webinar is to address the concerns and questions the users of the existing systems migh t have. How will the upgrade affect my workflow? Are there significant cha nges to the way the job scheduling and file systems operate in the new clu sters? How to make the best use of the increased computing capacity of the upgraded clusters\, in particular in regards of the computing nodes becom ing much "\;fatter"\; (many more cpu cores per node)? As the most significant change will happen to the way the GPU computing is done\, the webinar will cover this in detail.
