POP Webinars
Upcoming Event
29th POP Webinar – Assessing CPU Code Quality
Join us on the 22nd of October
In the upcoming POP webinar William Jalby (UVSQ) will talk about how suboptimal codes can affect performance for various reasons and how the MAQAO performance analysis can be used to assess code quality and help identify steps to improve performance. William will illustrate the MAQAO capabilities through real code examples and demonstrate strategies for comparative studies between different compilers and compiler settings.

Past Events
Last webinar: The CARM Tool: Cache-aware Roofline Model for HPC
On the 5th of September 2024, José Morgado (INESC-ID) presented the Cache-aware Roofline Model (CARM), which offers effective guidance by providing insights into bottlenecks that limit the application’s ability to reach the system’s maximum performance. Furthermore, José demonstrated the capabilities of the tool during the webinar and gave a short tutorial of its usage. The recording and the slide presentation can be found here.

Recent POP Events
POP @ 46th VI-HPS Tuning Workshop
POP and the National HPC Competence Centres (NCCs) for Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia co-organised the 46th VI-HPS Tuning workshop, which was led by the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center. This 3-day virtual training event was part of the CASTIEL 2 / Euro CC Training Sprint series. Our experts gave an overview of the VI-HPS programming tool suite and explained how to use the tools effectively. The workshop also provided hands-on experience as well as expert assistance.

Apply For Free Help with Code Optimisation
We offer a range of free services designed to help EU organisations improve the performance of parallel software. If you are not getting the performance you need from parallel software or would like to review the performance of a parallel code, please apply for help via the short Service Request Form, or email us to discuss the service further and how it can be beneficial.
These services are funded by the EuroHPC research and innovation programme so there is no direct cost to our users.
The POP Helpdesk
Past and present POP users are eligible to use our email helpdesk. Please contact our team of experts for help analysing code changes, to discuss your next steps and to ask questions about your parallel performance optimisation.
