audience

  • Who should attend?

It would be ideal that at least one scripting-skills-person per group PI joins in, minimum on the first session -if you (or your group) are a regular cluster user- .

If you hold a case of an HPC software setup problem that you believe is a common need and relates to the organization of our HPC environment, this is within our focus. In fact, the infant HPCBIOS project has been spawned to cure exactly such needs.

presentations format

Thursday morning will include the regular Users Meeting presentation with basic guidelines. From then on, the hackathon will commence.
