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). https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/MPI-2024-11 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 . https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/VSC-Intro-2024-10 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. 04.10.2024, 09:00 - 11:00 CEST Introduction to EESSI - European Environment for Scientific Software Installations https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/EESSI-2024-10 Registration ends today! 07.-10.10.2024, 09:00 - 16:30 Modern C++ Software Design (Intermediate) https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/CppI-2024-10 Registration ends today! 09.10.2024, 09:00 - 16:00 CEST Linux Command Line https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/VSC-Linux-2024-10 Registration deadline 7 October 2024. 15.-16.10.2024, 09:00 - 17:00 CEST CUDA 4 Dummies https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/CUDA-2024-10 Registration deadline 10 October 2024. 21.-22.10.2024, 09:00 - 16:30 CEST Introduction to Deep Learning https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/DL-2024-10 Registration deadline 14 October 2024. 24.10.2024, 09:00 - 17:00 CEST Introduction to Working on the VSC Clusters https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/VSC-Intro-2024-10 Registration deadline 21 October 2024. 4.-5.11.2024, 09:00 - 13:00 CET Large Language Models on Supercomputers https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/LLMs-2024-11 Registration deadline 28 October 2024. 18.-21.11.2024, 09:30 - 14:00 CET, TU Wien & ONLINE (Hybrid format) Parallelization with MPI https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/MPI-2024-11 Priority registration for VSC users and students until 28 October 2024.
