POP Improves HPC Applications

Developers of applications that require the use of high-performance computing (HPC) can now count on free advice from European experts to analyse the performance of their codes. The Performance Optimization and Productivity (POP) Centre of Excellence, funded by the European Commission under H2020, started operating at the end of 2015. The POP Centre of Excellence gathers together experts from BSC, JSC, HLRS, RWTH Aachen University, NAG and Ter@tec. The objective of POP is to provide performance measurement and analysis services to the industrial and academic HPC community, help them to better understand the performance behaviour of their codes and suggest improvements to increase their efficiency. Training and user education regarding application tuning is also provided. Further information can be found at http://www.pop-coe.eu/.
