We will look for the final wallclock time (WALL).

Task and submission

...

• https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/-/tree/qe-7.1

Use the following 2 inputs:

1. Profile the given input (click here), the input will be available by Jan 20232 given inputs
   Use any of the remote clusters to run an MPI profile (such as IPM profile or any other profiler) over 4 nodes, full PPN to profile the given input.

   • Submit the profile as PDF to the team's folder.

   • Add to your presentation the 3 main MPI calls that are being used plus the MPI time being used.
     

2. Run the QE CP with the given input inputs on both PSC bridges-2 and FAU Fritz CPU clusters, and submit for four node runs.

   1. Submit the results to the

   teams folder

   1. team's folder, 4 node run only (4 results, 2 per cluster).

   2. Select one cluster and experiment with 1,2,4 node runs. Add to your presentation a scalability graph based on your results and any conclusions you came up with. No need to submit those results, just show your work on your presentation for the interview.
      

3. Bonus task - run QE CP on the FAU Alex PSC cluster using A100 GPU partitionV100 GPUs. Use only 4 GPUs on a single node for the run. Submit the results to the team's folder.
   

4. Submission and Presentation:
   - Submit all the build scripts, standard output, logs and run scripts to the team’s folder.
   - No need to submit the output data or source codes.
   - Prepare slides for the team’s interview based on your work for this application.
