In this intensive 3-day scaling lab, ALCF and industry professionals will share the latest techniques and tools to help you scale your code to the next level.

Work along side these experts to enhance your code’s scalability over 12 full hours of dedicated hands-on time. Test and debug as you go with exclusive full-system reservations for this premier scaling event.

Scaling Your Science on Mira is intended for experienced HPC users with near-term goals of applying for a major allocation award (i.e., INCITE or ALCC). Registrants will be reviewed for experience level and will be asked to provide both a research summary and goals for attending. The ALCF offers a variety of training opportunities for users at all levels.

The ALCF is pleased to offer this event free of charge to the HPC community.
