For more information or to submit a proposal, visit https://proposals.doeleadershipcomputing.org.

2019 INCITE CALL FOR PROPOSALS WEBINAR
To help you prepare your INCITE proposal for submission, the INCITE program is offering an instructional webinar June 7. To register, visit visit the event page.

MEETINGS & WORKSHOPS

INTRODUCTION TO SUMMIT WEBINAR (JUN 1)
The OLCF will present an Introduction to Summit webinar from 1:00 PM until 4:30 PM (Eastern Time) on Friday, June 1. In this webinar, we will cover the basic topics new users will need to get up and running on Summit. We will give a broad overview of available features and the details necessary to submit and run jobs. For more information, please see the event page.

HPC BEST PRACTICES WEBINAR (JUNE 13)
The next HPC Best Practices Webinar, “Popper: Creating Reproducible Computational and Data Science Experimentation Pipelines”, will be presented from 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM on Wednesday, June 13th. Popper is a protocol and command language interpreter (CLI) tool for implementing scientific exploration pipelines following a DevOps approach of unifying software development and operation in order to handle complexity in large codebases. Participation in this webinar is free but registration is required. For more information or to register, visit the event page.

INTRO TO HPC WORKSHOP (JUN 26-28)
The OLCF will host an Introduction to High Performance Computing (HPC) workshop on June 26-28, 2018. This training will start by covering basic skills, such as UNIX, vim text editor, and C/Fortran programming, which will be necessary for the topics to follow. We will then move on to cover basic parallel programming (using MPI and OpenMP) and GPU computing (CUDA and OpenACC). Hands-on sessions will be included with many of the topics to give participants the opportunity to practice new skills. For more information about this event or to register, visit the event page on the OLCF website.

PERFORMANCE PORTABILITY WITH KOKKOS (JUL 24-27)
The OLCF will host an on-site Kokkos training event organized by the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) on July 24-27, 2018. This training will cover the minimum required topics to get your application started on using Kokkos. Please see the event page for more details.
