Tutorial I: Tutorial for Darshan - I/O Workload Characterization for MPI Applications (half day)

In this tutorial we present an overview of common HPC I/O challenges and the range of tools that are available to help diagnose them. The concepts will be illustrated using case studies as well as hands-on exercises. We focus particularly on Darshan, a scalable I/O characterization tool that provides an end-to-end system for understanding and interpreting the I/O behavior of high performance computing applications. Darshan's lightweight, transparent design enables it to be used in production with negligible impact on behavior. Attendees will learn how to use Darshan to find I/O hotspots in MPI programs as well as basic techniques to optimize their codes' I/O behavior.

Workshop I: The First International Workshop on Energy-Aware Ubiquitous Computing (EnergyUbi) (half day)

The aim of the EnergyUbi workshop is to bring together researchers from all areas of ubiquitous computing to explore the possibilities and challenges of energy-aware architecture, systems, applications and communication in a ubiquitous computing environment.
