This training covers topics to help Principal Investigators write performance and scaling documents that will lead to improved resource justifications and better XSEDE Resource Allocations Committee (XRAC) proposals. Topics covered include:
- 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 training will focus on traditional HPC codes; later events will include details on non-traditional applications including, data-intensive codes and third party (including proprietary application) applications.
