phi access

Claus_D_ — Fri, 13 Mar 2015 12:07:06 GMT

Hi all,

I am currently preparing an introductory course for HPC for some phd students at our university. We will work on some very simple example codes (openmp and mpi) and test them on small clusters we have here. Is there any possibility to have access to a phi so I could try to run some of this code on it to see how it behaves/scales?

Kind regards!

Hi Claus,

Please take a look at https://software.intel.com/en-us/academic for academic program.

Thanx for the link, nice material! However, I could not find any information about getting access to a phi, maybe I missed something? Any cloud service? Amazon EC2 has GPUs but no Phis.

Kind regards, Claus

Hi Claus,

I will send you a private message with information on how we can do this with a small environment hosted at Intel (was historically used for academic programs, but apparently is no longer advertised as available on the academic site).

For some cases, generally speaking, it may be possible to see if requesting some allocation in the TACC cluster (Stampede). In the meantime we will provide a stop-gap solution - stay tuned for email from me
