In order to help XRAC Principal Investigators write better performance and scaling documents, leading to improved resource justifications, we are presenting training to help guide the process for a PI to lead to better proposals. Things that will be covered:
- Optimal use of startup allocation: what experiments to perform, what data to gather?
- Prototypical performance and scaling document: what needs to be presented? how should it be presented?
- Experimental plan and resource justification: what details should be included to provide a quality resource justification?
This instance of the class will focus on traditional HPC codes; later instances will include details on non-traditional applications including, data intensive codes and third party (including proprietary application) applications.
