Registration options

• Full Course (5 Days): Ideal for those seeking a complete understanding of LUMI, from basics to advanced techniques.
• Advanced Workshop Only (3 Days): Suitable for participants who have already completed the introductory course or possess equivalent knowledge. (On-site attendance highly recommended as only the lectures but not the exercises will be streamed)
• Introductory part only (2 Days) – online only: For users who only need our introductory training. As we don’t want to take seats away from users taking the full course, there is no possibility to participate on-site for just the first two days. Note though that only written questions can be asked by online participants as the lecturers focus on interaction with the participants in the course room.

Each day will run from 9:00 to 17:30 CET (Friday till 15:30 CET), with breaks scheduled throughout. Please see the preliminary schedule.

In this training you will:

• connect to LUMI and transfer data from and to the cluster
• understand LUMI’s hardware and effectively compile software on it
• utilize the module system and EasyBuild for software management
• submit and manage jobs with Slurm, including the use of job arrays and GPU/CPU binding
• identify and mitigate I/O bottlenecks in the LUSTRE file system
• create Python environments and run containers on LUMI

This course is aimed at anyone who wants to know how to perform very large computing tasks, specifically if you intend to use the LUMI supercomputer in the future.

High-performance computing allows researchers to solve the most complex challenges quickly and even explore areas where experiments are unthinkable. Successful companies apply supercomputers for innovative R&D activities, cost reduction, and competitive advantage.

At the seminar, we will hear inspiring presentations about how experts in various fields use supercomputers and what benefits they can get from it.

• The Soccer project team recently had the privilege of participating in the Nordic-Baltic Security Summit, a premier event in the field of cybersecurity. The summit brought together experts, industry leaders, and key stakeholders from across the Nordic and Baltic regions to discuss pressing cybersecurity challenges and emerging trends.
• During the summit, our team engaged in a series of insightful panels and presentations. These sessions provided a deep dive into the current state of cybersecurity within the Nordic and Baltic countries. Topics ranged from threat intelligence and digital resilience to policy frameworks aimed at strengthening regional cyber defence. By attending, we gained valuable insights about the latest cybersecurity strategies, threat landscapes, and collaborative efforts shaping the future of digital security in these regions.
• Our participation was not only an opportunity for learning but also for sharing the vision of the Soccer project. We had the chance to introduce our project to various companies and individuals attending the summit. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing strong interest in our approach to tackling cybersecurity challenges. This interaction highlighted the growing recognition of Soccer as a key player in the cybersecurity domain, further motivating us to continue our efforts to advance the project.

Attending the Nordic-Baltic Security Summit provided a platform for both knowledge exchange and networking, reinforcing our commitment to staying at the forefront of cybersecurity advancements.

The event will provide supercomputing users in Europe with the chance to explore various topics and enhance their understanding of the opportunities provided by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and the support available to users.

Attendees will be able to showcase EuroHPC projects that have used European HPC supercomputing resources, share best practices in the development of these projects, gather feedback from EuroHPC users and engage with potential new users.

The event will take place at the Eye Film Museum, in Amsterdam. It will start on Tuesday 22 October in the morning with a plenary session, followed by parallel sessions in the afternoon. On the second day, the morning will start with a plenary session and parallel sessions, concluding the event at noon of Wednesday 23 October 2024.
