This week we newly announce a training event from C3SE aimed at new users and an online course from HPC2N on running molecular dynamics applications efficiently. The popular zoom-in sessions have been moved to Thursday afternoons. There still a few places available on the CodeRefinery/ENCCS online workshop on software testing.

Application specific training

Online training course: "Running MD applications efficiently in HPC", 26 - 27 April 2021

The aim of this HPC2N course is to provide MD users with a set of best practices to improve the performance of their simulations. This will mainly be accomplished by tuning the appropriate SLURM switches and flags proper to the MD packages.

This course will be two half-days. It will have lectures as well as some hands-on sessions where you get to try out what you have just learned. There will also be time for user's to discuss, test, and get help with their own scripts.

NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 situation, the course will be fully online, through Zoom.

For more information and registration, see the HPC2N event page.

SNIC zoom-in - a virtual open-house: 18th March 2021 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 the SNIC centres 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.

For more information and details on access, please visit the LUNARC zoom-in page.

Training events from ENCCS, recommended by SNIC

CodeRefinery/ENCCS online workshop and hackathon on software testing, March 17 and 24

Registration is now open for the first CodeRefinery/ENCCS workshop and hackathon on software testing on March 17 and 24! In this event you will become familiar with tools and best practices for testing research software and get help in adopting these in your own projects by experienced mentors.

Training overview

SNIC training webpage

In addition to these news letters we also provide a SNIC training webpage.

This webpage currently gives an overview on all courses currently planned. It provides links to more information and the actual registration. The webpage also includes training which is expected to be mostly of interest to individual SNIC centres. Information will be added to this page as it becomes available.
