Allocations INCITE, ALCC, ADSP, DD, Aurora ESP
ALCF SDL Workshop

Held at the ALCF from October 1–3, 2019, the ALCF Simulation, Data, and Learning Workshop is intended for users getting started on ALCF computing resources, particularly with data science and machine learning applications, with near-term goals of applying for a major allocation award.

From October 1–3, 2019, we will host the ALCF Simulation, Data, and Learning Workshop to help researchers improve the performance and productivity of simulation, data science, and machine learning applications on ALCF systems. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to:

  • Work directly with ALCF and industry professionals during dedicated hands-on sessions
  • Learn how to use available tools and frameworks to improve productivity
  • Learn how to set up workflows and use containers
  • Test and debug codes with exclusive full-system reservations on ALCF systems
  • Get assistance with Director's Discretionary projects to help prepare for a major allocation award
  • Improve the performance of existing ALCF projects
  • Plan ahead for 2020-2021 allocation proposal submissions
