The Performance Optimisation and Productivity (POP) Centre of Excellence
Jon Gibson, Technical Consultant, Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG)
The POP is a centre of excellence in HPC, providing free of charge performance optimisation and productivity services for (your) academic AND industrial code(s) in all domains.
Over the initial two and a half years of the POP Centre of Excellence, we provided 174 services to academic and industrial organisations throughout the EU, identifying and implementing improvements to the performance of their parallel codes. A further three years of this free service commenced in December 2018. This talk will discuss what this pan-European collaboration offers and present a variety of examples in which significant improvements were made to code performance.
