Enhancing HPC Capabilities in Singapore – NSCC Singapore’s December Workshop Roundup

Held on 11 December 2024, NSCC Singapore organised an introductory workshop for ASPIRE 2A to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of NSCC Singapore and essential concepts of HPC. 

The agenda included an introduction to key components such as the PBS Pro scheduler, compilers, libraries, developer tools, and accelerators, as well as guidance on basic operations like user enrolment, logging into NSCC login nodes, file transfers, and creating job submission scripts. Participants also learned to load environment modules, compile simple programs, and create scripts for MPI job submissions, concluding with a Q&A session for further clarification.

The 10th intake of CoC in Introduction to HPC was conducted on 12 December 2024, attracting participants from industry, Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs), and the Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC). Co-organised by Institute of Technical Education (ITE) lecturers and NSCC Singapore specialists, this SkillsFuture-approved course, an initiative that drives lifelong learning, equipped participants with foundational HPC knowledge and provided hands-on experience in remotely accessing HPC systems via a virtual platform. Participants were given the opportunity to leverage thousands of computing nodes to execute complex program tasks at high speeds, a critical skill for advancing deep learning AI applications.
