1 minute read

VS Code currently do not support IBM power 9 servers remote development. If this is your case, you can:

  1. Install the extention SFTP sftp/ftp sync
  2. Follow the instructions to add the server information from here.

SFTP Extension

  1. Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac open command palette, run SFTP: config command.
  2. Add this configuration to the opened file:
{
    "name": "My Site",
    "host": "my.ftp.net",
    "protocol": "sftp",
    "port": 22,
    "username": "user",
    "password": "pass",
    "remotePath": "/home",
    "uploadOnSave": true,
    "interactiveAuth": true
}

If you are using your public/private key to login to the remote server, and if your key has a pass phrase, add this configuration as well: "passphrase": true,

Add multiple profiles to SFTP extension

Edit sftp.json as following:

{
    "name": "Project",
    "protocol": "sftp",
    "port": 22,
    "defaultProfile": "HostA-debug",
    "profiles": {
        "HostA-debug": {
            "host": "HostA",
            "remotePath": "/path/to/Project-Debug",
            "privateKeyPath": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
            "passphrase": true,
            "uploadOnSave": true,
            "interactiveAuth": true
        },
        "HostA-release": {
            "host": "HostA",
            "remotePath": "/path/to/Project-Release",
            "privateKeyPath": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
            "passphrase": true,
            "uploadOnSave": true,
            "interactiveAuth": true
        },
        "HostB-debug": {
            "host": "HostB",
            "remotePath": "/path/to/Project-Debug",
            "privateKeyPath": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
            "passphrase": true,
            "uploadOnSave": true,
            "interactiveAuth": true
        },
        "HostB-release": {
            "host": "HostB",
            "remotePath": "/path/to/Project-Release",
            "privateKeyPath": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
            "passphrase": true,
            "uploadOnSave": true,
            "interactiveAuth": true
        }
    }
}

Utilize PTX Just-In-Time (JIT) Compilation in CUDA

4 minute read

In this post I’ve written about how to utilize PTX Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation in CUDA. PTX is a low-level assembly-like language that is used to represent the GPU code. The PTX code is then compiled to the machine code by the NVIDIA driver at runtime. This process is called Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation. But before I write about how to use PTX JIT compilation, I’ll provide some background on why you might want to use it.

Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) is a classical molecular dynamics code that can be used to model atoms or, more generally, as a parallel particle simulator at various scales. The complete documentation of LAMMPS can be found here. In this post, I will provide a guide on how to setup LAMMPS on a Linux machine. My setup is on a cluster with NVIDIA GPUs, UCX, and OpenMPI. Also, we have a built-in module system to load the necessary modules.
