Duration

5 hours

Requirements

Each user should have a PLGrid account, active affiliation and access to the Ares cluster. Accounts and access to supercomputers could be obtained in Portal PLGrid. If somebody has no active affiliation, please get in touch with organisers at training@cyfronet.pl.

That is more advanced training for people familiar with basic usage of HPC resources. Basic training for people who want to start using HPC resources at ACC Cyfronet AGH is Introduction to Scientific High-Performance Computing.

Venue

Training will be conducted via Zoom through the link provided for registered participants.

Language

English/Polish - dependent on the participants.

Level

intermediate
