Preparation: Lectures about HPE and AMD profiling tools

As proper optimisation of code starts with understanding where the bottlenecks are, some understanding of profiling and profiling tools is very useful. Therefore we highly recommend hackathon participants to follow some lectures of the "Performance Analysis and Optimization Workshop that we have the week before.

We recommend to have a look at the following lectures from a past course:

Recommended lectures:

• Introduction to Performance Analysis with Perftools

• Advanced Performance Analysis

• AMD Profiling Tools and GPU optimisations 1

• AMD Profiling Tools and GPU optimisations 2
