NAISS training
Online hackathon: Bianca In-Depth: Improve Your Handling of Sensitive Research Data, 24 May 2024
Are you already working with sensitive data in your research and feel that your workflows can be improved? If yes, welcome to 1 day hackathon where you'll learn smarter ways of working on the Bianca cluster. We will tell you how to do file transfer from a terminal, advanced SLURM, using IDEs (i.e. RStudio and/or VSCode), and installing custom software and packages.
The workshop will consist of short lectures and the content will be driven by questions from the participants.
To attend this course, we expect you to be able to login to Bianca, submit a Slurm bash script, and know how to transfer files.
You do not need to be a member of a NAISS-SENS project in order to join the workshop. A SUPR course project will be available to all participants.
When: Friday, May 24, 2024
Where: online via Zoom
For more information and registration please visit the Bianca hackathon page at UPPMAX.
Online training seminar: Introduction to Alvis, 19 June from 13:15 to 15:00
This is seminar is for new and prospective users of the NAISS cluster for AI/ML, Alvis. You will learn all that you need to know to get started on the system.
Time: 19 June 13:15
Location: Introduction to Alvis Zoom link
No registration is required.
Online course: UPPMAX Introductory Course, 27-30 August 2024
This 4-day course provides an introduction to the high-performance computing (HPC) environment offered at UPPMAX.
It offers an overview on how the systems work and covers skills from basic Linux usage to more advanced tips and tricks, including Python scripting.
Participation is open to all existing and prospective NAISS users.
When: August 27-30, 2024

Online interactive support and discussion forum
NAISS Zoom-in - a virtual open-house, 13 June from 14:00 until 15:00
You are invited to a virtual meeting room. Inside the meeting room we like to discuss services offered by NAISS and how they can be used for your computational needs, help you process your data and visualise your results. Participants are highly encouraged to pose their own questions.
We also expect to have experts available from C3SE, HPC2N and LUNARC, to discuss the University operated HPC services at Chalmers, Umeå and Lund University.
Location: Zoom link for NAISS Zoom-in session on 13 June
ENCCS training
The AI for Science Bootcamp, 25-26 June
Abstract: The AI for Science Bootcamp provides a step-by-step overview of the fundamentals of deep neural networks and walks attendees through the hands-on experience of building and improving deep learning models for applications related to scientific computing and physical systems defined by differential equations.
The material will cover more advanced topics, such as physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) and operator learning and make use of tools like NVIDIA Modulus to develop and train the models. Furthermore, this online bootcamp is a hands-on learning experience where we will guide you through step-by-step instructions with teaching assistants on hand to help throughout.
Time: June 25-26, 9:00-13:30 (2024).
