DOE Cross-Facility Workflows training
April 12, 2023, 11:00 am-3:00 pm ET

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.
