Dear VSC users and friends,
the new semester is about to start and we would like to draw your
attention to our training and education offer in high-performance
computing and related topics.
1. Introduction to EESSI - European Environment for Scientific Software
Installations (04.10.2024)
2. VSC-School I - Parallelization with MPI (18.-21.11.2024)
3. Introductory courses: VSC-Linux (9.10.2024) and VSC-Intro
(24.10.2023)
4. All (other) upcoming training events (C++, CUDA, DL, LLMs)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Are you tired of dealing with complicated software setups,
incompatible libraries, and version conflicts across platforms? We
understand the struggle, but here's good news: The European HPC
community has developed EESSI, a common stack of scientific software
that works like a streaming service. It provides instant access to the
software you need, whether you're using an HPC system, cloud, or laptop.
Join our online course to get to know the stack and make your life a
bit EESSIER.
Introduction to EESSI - European Environment for Scientific Software
Installations
04.10.2024, 09:00 - 11:00 CEST
https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/EESSI-2024-10
Registration ends today!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. We would like to especially highlight the lecture "VSC-School I"
during the upcoming winter semester which allows students of TU Wien and
of other Austrian universities via a co-registration
https://www.tuwien.at/studium/zulassung/mitbelegung to earn credits
(ECTS). Therefore, we do offer priority registration for VSC users and
students and members of Austrian universities and public research
institute until 28 October 2024 for the "MPI course" which is the core
part of the lecture:
Parallelization with MPI
18.-21.11.2024, 09:30 - 14:00 CET, TU Wien & ONLINE (Hybrid format)
On clusters and distributed memory architectures, parallel programming
with the Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the dominating programming
model. This 4 half-days course teaches parallel programming with MPI
starting from a beginners level. Hands-on sessions (in C, Fortran, and
Python) allow to immediately test and understand the basic constructs of
the Message Passing Interface (MPI).

Priority registration for VSC users and students until 28 October 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. For all newbies we offer two introductory courses:
Linux command line
09.10.2024, 09:00 - 16:00 CEST
This course is targeted for our new users who might not have worked on
the Linux command line before. You will learn how to login to VSC and
step-by-step we will show you how to work on the Linux command line and
a few basic things that will help you to organize your workflows on the
cluster. Focusing on hands-on teaching throughout the course, you will
immediately try out what you've heard and adapt it to your own needs.
https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/VSC-Linux-2024-10
Registration deadline 7 October 2024.
Introduction to Working on the VSC Clusters
24.10.2024, 09:00 - 17:00 CEST
In this course we will help you getting started on the VSC clusters,
Austria's most powerful supercomputers. We'll focus on using the VSC
clusters and especially their queuing system efficiently. It is from
beginners level (the first steps on a supercomputer) to intermediate
level (some experience on VSC or any other compute cluster) and equally
relevant to those who will merely be running existing software as to
those who will develop scientific codes .

Registration deadline 21 October 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. All upcoming training events:
Registration for all our courses in October and November 2024 is
currently open. All our courses are free of charge for VSC users and
students and members of Austrian universities and public research
institutes, and most courses are free of charge for anyone from Europe.
It is recommended to register early to secure your spot!
Please feel free to pass this announcement to other persons who might
not get this information directly.
