Comprehensive general LUMI course

Event info

The course will be jointly conducted by the LUMI HPE Centre of Excellence (HPE CoE), AMD and the LUMI User Support Team (LUST).

We intend this course for users with ongoing projects on LUMI, users with project proposals in one of the national or EuroHPC channels, and support staff of local organisations of the LUMI consortium members.

The course is first and foremost an in-person event. All sessions will be broadcasted via Zoom, but direct interaction with the speakers is only possible in the lecture room. There will be an on-line document where others can leave questions, but questions from the audience in the lecture room take priority. Several staff from HPE, AMD and LUST will be on-site, so this is the perfect moment for interaction with them.

The venue for in-person attendance is at IT Kolledž, Raja 4c, Tallinn, Estonia. See the bottom of this page for more information on the venue. Participants are responsible themselves for all travel bookings.

We will keep a waiting list if registrations exceed the number of planned participants. See the link to the registration at the bottom of this page. Registration deadline is 23. May 2023 16:00 CEST. As capacity is limited, participants who only intend to attend part of the course are kindly requested to leave their spot to others who want to benefit from the whole course.

Attendance both in-person and online is free of charge. Morning and afternoon coffee break with snacks is provided by event organizer. Lunch is available in Taltech IT College cafeteria.

For doing the hands-on exercises and access the slides and training material on the course day, participants will have to join a course specific training project. This project is Puhuri managed which means that CSC users have to set up a new LUMI user account. Step-by-step instructions will be sent out after the registration on how to join the project and set up an account (if needed).
