<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Dear all,<br><br></div>as PI of a PRACE grant I
have been contacted by Wadud Miah who is working on a European
Commission (EC) funded project which analyses HPC
computer applications and makes recommendations on how to improve
their speed and performance. Their project is free to use for
organizations based in the EU. <br><br></div>Since part of my team is using the Einstein Toolkit and since we discussed options
for improving its performance and possible
industry involvement for upcoming EC grant applications last week, I was wondering
whether this could interesting for our
community in general.<br></div>You can find more information about the service here:
<a href="https://pop-coe.eu/services" target="_blank">https://pop-coe.eu/services</a><br></div>and the correspondence below.<br></div>Have you come across them before? What do you think?<br><div><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Thanks for your reply. The Performance Optimisation and Productivity (POP) service is for any parallel code as long as you are based in the EU. Looking at the Web page you listed, the Einstein Toolkit
has an MPI implementation, so we can certainly profile it for you. Please do forward the details of the POP service to your colleagues. Let me know if you have any further questions.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt">thank you very much for your offer. This would certainly be of interest to our group. Let me discuss it with them first.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt">Is this for EU/PRACE funded projects only? One of the codes that we are using and further developing, the Einstein Toolkit (<a href="http://einsteintoolkit.org/" target="_blank">http://einsteintoolkit.org/</a>), is a publicly
available code and our community might be interested in further improving its performance. With your permission I would put it forward to them, with me as contact person.<u></u><u></u></p>
