About the Event
Getting the software that is required to run your scientific workloads installed on a supercomputer can be a daunting task.
There is a wide variety of tools & techniques to consider, and the best option depends on various factors including which software you need, which system(s) you want to use, which programming language(s) the software is implemented in, etc.
In this training session, VSC staff will briefly present and demo various well-established tools & techniques for getting scientific software installed.
Both strong and weak points will be highlighted, and tradeoffs will be discussed.
The goal of this session is to empower researchers to make the right choice for their use, and kick-start them to efficiently deal with this ubiquitous burden.
