Meetings & Workshops

Summit New User Training
February 13, 3:00-5:00 p.m. ET
Virtual via Zoom

This training will provide tips to more effectively utilize OLCF resources and is intended both for new and existing users of Summit and OLCF. A hands-on session will follow the presentation that covers how to login and run jobs on Summit. To help you get started, we will also cover the Summit New User Quick Start Guide, available here: https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/quickstart/index.html.

Frontier Training Workshop
February 15-17, 2023
Virtual via Zoom

The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) will host a virtual Frontier Training Workshop February 15-17, 2023. This event is meant to help new Frontier users (or those intending to use Frontier) learn how to run on the system. The first day will feature presentations and a hands-on session. The last two days will feature presentations from vendors and staff. The presentations for this workshop are meant to deliver relevant information about the system (hardware, job launcher, programming methods, etc.), while the hands-on session is intended to help participants learn how to run jobs on the system. To participate in the hands-on, you must have an account on Frontier or Crusher. For more details and to register see: https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/calendar/frontier-training-workshop-february-2023/
