Best Practices on NRIS Clusters 1-3 November 2022

The Norwegian Research Infrastructure Services (NRIS) is offering a best practices course for users of national HPC systems (Saga, Fram, Betzy).

The three half days course is the follow up to the NRIS HPC on-boarding course. We will focus on different aspects related to the everyday usage of HPC facilities in order to facilitate an valuable and productive framework to develop your research. These include NRIS HPC systems overview, best practices and trouble shooting,resource management, software installation etc.

Targeted Audience: The course is aimed at students, researchers and employees who want to deepen their knowledge of the usage of HPC facilities. This is a follow-up course to the NRIS HPC on-boarding course (although it is not a prerequisite).

If you are new to HPC, we highly recommend to refer the course material of NRIS HPC on-boarding course to benefit from this course.

The course is open to all users and free of charge, but registration is mandatory.
