In support of the Winter Classic Invitational Student Cluster Competition, the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) will hold a hands-on training with the Summit supercomputer. Participants will learn about the Summit architecture, learn how research teams write programs for and run workloads on Summit, and get to work through fun small challenge problems on their own on the Ascent training system (basically 1 cabinet of Summit).
