DESCRIPTION:Educators:\nBenjamin Wolff (ZB MED - Information Centre for Lif
 e Sciences - de.NBI assoziated Partner)\, Alan O'Cais (University of Barce
 lona)\, Pedro Fernandez (HPCNow!)\n\nDate:\n4 - 5 December  - 09:00-16:00\
 n\nLocation:\nOnline\n\nContents:\nThis practical introduction to high per
 formance computing (HPC) will cover all basic concepts needed to access an
  HPC cluster and to run applications and workflows there. \n\nThe course i
 s built upon the Carpentries and HPC Carpentry online learning materials\,
  with HPC Carpentry being a lesson program in incubation for the Carpentri
 es. The Carpentries is a nonprofit organisation that teaches software engi
 neering and data science skills to researchers in order to conduct efficie
 nt\, open\, and reproducible research.  Their volunteer instructors (4287)
  have run 4000+ Workshops in 65 countries since 2012\, with 450+ alone in 
 2022 [3]. All of their lesson materials are freely reusable under the Crea
 tive Commons - Attribution licence [4].\n\nHere\, we are offering a 2-day 
 workshop\, composed of 2 full-day sessions\, with the primary goal of intr
 oducing High-Performance Computing (HPC) to individuals who have limited o
 r no prior experience with such computing resources.  The workshop will co
 ver HPC resources\, the cluster management tool Slurm\, and how to run app
 lications and workflows on these systems.\n\nLearning goals:\nBy the end o
 f this workshop\, you will be able to:\n\n- Identify problems a cluster ca
 n help solve\n- Transfer files onto a cluster\n- Comfortably manipulate fi
 les and directories\, locally and on a remote resource\n- Submit and manag
 e jobs on a cluster using a scheduler\n- Observe the benefits and limitati
 ons of parallel execution\n- Understand how to construct a reliable\, scal
 able and reproducible scientific workflow as a series of chained rules\n- 
 Use a subset of features of the Snakemake workflow tool\n- Run a Snakemake
  workflow on an HPC resource\n\nPrerequisites:\nJoin this workshop if you 
 are:\n\n- Interested in learning what HPC is\n- Interested in learning how
  to access and use HPC resources\n- Interested in running applications and
  workflows on HPC resources \n\nKeywords:\nHPC\, Snakemake
