Workshop
ALCF Hands on HPC Workshop Graphic

The ALCF is hosting an in-person Hands-on HPC Workshop on October 10-12, 2023, at the TCS Conference Center at Argonne National Laboratory.

The workshop will provide an opportunity for hands-on time on Polaris and AI Testbeds focusing on porting applications to heterogeneous architectures (CPU + GPU), improving code performance, and exploring AI/ML applications development on ALCF systems.

Workshop participants will:

  • Work directly with ALCF staff and industry experts during dedicated hands-on sessions
  • Learn how to use available tools and frameworks to improve productivity and performance
  • Hear from researchers running on early Aurora hardware 
  • Tour Argonne facilities, including Aurora

 

DEADLINE for Registration is September 15, 2023. 

For late registration, please email alcfevents@alcf.anl.gov

 

For attendees who wish to stay onsite, please book rooms on the Argonne Guest House website. Please note there will be a shuttle to and from the Guest House during the workshop.

Who is eligible?

Registrants will be reviewed for experience level and will be asked to provide both a research summary and goals for attending.

NOTE: Foreign nationals please check eligibility at the registration link.
