Did you know

The OLCF provides a Kubernetes-based container orchestration service for users to run persistent application services that do not fit into a batch job such as workflow management systems and data portals. The service is named Slate and is available upon request to OLCF users.

More details on Slate can be found at https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/services_and_applications/slate/overview.html

Do you need help choosing the right workflow tool? Do you have questions about running workflows on supercomputers? Join us for a joint ALCF, NERSC, and OLCF training on the topic of workflows and workflow tools across the DOE. We will offer a half-day Zoom training with hands-on examples of GNU Parallel, Parsl, FireWorks, and Balsam- all of which can be used at ALCF, NERSC, and OLCF. To ensure you have access to all systems required for the exercises, please register by April 5.
