HPC Champions
Tuesday 15 December 2020 13:00-17:00
The next HPC Champions meeting will be held virtually on the afternoon of the 15th December 2020, and will involve talks and discussion sessions. We will confirm topics closer to the time but are likely to include updates from supercomputing services, training, and HPC software. The workshop will run between 1pm and 5pm GMT. If you have an idea for a 10minute presentation, a 3 minute lightning talk or discussion topic then please get in touch with the organiser: Andy Turner (a.turner@epcc.ed.ac.uk).
HPC Champions is a network of individuals with the goal of supporting HPC users in the UK to learn about HPC, find the most appropriate system for their purposes, and to get the most out of that system. The roughly bi-annual HPC Champions workshops play a key part in this, increasing the coordination between the different tiers of HPC in the UK and acting as a launching point for collaboration on projects related to training, outreach, reference materials and more.
The network includes a wide number of HPC communities including RSEs and system administrators from the local, regional and national supercomputing centres, as well representatives of HPC consortia, and we encourage anyone with an interest in supporting researchers and RSEs to make the best possible use of the HPC resources to attend. HPC Champions has been co-located with both the RSE Conference and HPC-SIG in the past, and this time is partnered with the ARCHER2 UK national supercomputing service.
If you have any questions, please contact the organiser: Andy Turner (a.turner@epcc.ed.ac.uk).

Introduction to ARCHER2 courses
ARCHER2 for software package users
This one-day course provides an introduction to using ARCHER2 for user who have already used other HPC systems and want to use pre-installed simulation/modelling packages rather than compiling their own.
We have places available on two upcoming runs of this course, on 7th or on 10th December

ARCHER2 for Software Developers
This two day course provides an introduction to using ARCHER2 for user who have already used other HPC systems and want to compile (and possibly) develop HPC software on ARCHER2.
We have places available on this course running on 14-15th December
