HPC Day @ HIM

Thursday 9 Feb 2023, 08:30 → 16:00 Europe/Berlin

1395/00-131 - Conference Room I Front (Raumteil 00-131) (HIM-Bau 1395)

Welcome to our first HPC Day @ HIM!

 

Learn and test everything you ever wanted to know and do with our cluster. Experience the computing power for yourself.

 

Get started for first time users in the morning and learn how to compute with Python, Mathematica and Singularity.

https://gitlab.rlp.net/pbotte/hpc-day-feb-2023 

 

In the afternoon, learn from university experts on topics such as parallel file systems, network system and research data management.

The expert talks will also be available via ZOOM: https://gsi-fair.zoom.us/j/69663772609 (Code: 621096) without the hands-on session.

 

Decide for yourself whether to attend the whole day or individual sessions.
