This course will give a deep dive into the AMD Instinct™ GPU architecture and its ROCm™ ecosystem, including the tools to develop or port HPC or AI applications to AMD GPUs. Participants will be introduced to the programming models for the MI200 series GPUs and MI300A APU. This course gives you crucial insights how to use and program HLRS's system Hunter which is equipped with the MI300A APUs.
The new unified memory programming model makes writing HPC applications much easier for a wide range of GPU programming models. We will cover how to use pragma-based languages such as OpenMP, the basic GPU programming language HIP, and performance portable languages such as Kokkos and RAJA. In addition, there will be presentations on other important topics such as GPU-aware MPI, and Affinity. The AMD tool suite, including the debugger, rocgdb, and the profiling tools rocprof, rocprof-sys, and rocprof-compute will also be covered.
A short introduction will be given into the AMD Machine Learning software stack including PyTorch, JAX and Tensorflow and how they have been used in HPC.
