About the talk: 

The JUPITER Exascale supercomputer, Europe’s first Exascale system, will soon be ready for large-scale computations within the upcoming allocation period at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre. This webinar will provide an overview of JUPITER’s system architecture, technical specification, and pathways to gain access to the machine’s available compute resource. Furthermore, a brief overview of the performance comparison will be presented between the JUWELS Booster production system and JEDI, which is the preparatory system that has identical hardware configuration to JUPITER Booster. There will be a sharing of first-hand experience in porting a plasma physics simulation code to an ARM-architecture based system like JEDI/JUPITER, building software modules required by the application via Easybuild and profiling.
