The date along with the start and end time of the workshop (excluding a networking evening) is confirmed, but the agenda is still under development.
Adaptyst is an open-source R&D project developed at CERN about scalable, architecture-agnostic, and comprehensive performance analysis with optional elements of compilation for various workflows across the entire computing spectrum (from embedded to distributed/high-performance computing).
In the current stage, the tool concentrates on profiling. However, the ultimate goal of the project is suggesting the most optimal compute solution automatically to an end user given their workflow, constraints, and requirements while taking into account all sides of computation: software, hardware, and systems. Therefore, in the later stages of R&D, we are aiming for Adaptyst to do automatically various activities related to designing software and hardware systems, e.g. analyse performance of a workflow on a given setup, pick the most optimal software and hardware parameters where possible, choose compute units amongst CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and custom accelerators, design a memory hierarchy, or plan out storage and networking.
The modular design of the tool available soon on both the software and hardware sides allows Adaptyst to use existing work easily (such as profilers) and adapt to all types of workflows and computing systems regardless of the pace of market development.
This workshop is dedicated to Adaptyst and is a unique chance for you to shape the project:
- You will be introduced to the tool.
- You will hear several talks about Adaptyst-related work and current/potential applications of the tool.
- You will be able to discuss your use case(s) and share your opinions, helping guide R&D directions of the project.
- You will participate in a hackathon-like performance analysis session, where you will be able to run Adaptyst on your problem with our help and/or share feedback with us.
Sounds interesting? Register now for free! Tea and coffee will be provided.
The workshop is open to people from all CERN departments and experiments (regardless of the computing work they do), with a remote participation option for everybody not based at CERN at the time of the event.
If you have any questions, please message adaptyst.contact [at] cern.ch or ask us in our Mattermost team.
