Hello, As part of the software carpentry community, and also as part of the scientific community (life sciences), constantly using HPC resources (and constantly getting stucked in the process), I think having HPC lessons as part of the workshops is actually a necessity!
Thanks for bringing this up Best Tania ________________________________________ From: Discuss <[email protected]> on behalf of Peter Steinbach <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 5, 2016 1:26 PM To: Software Carpentry Discussion Subject: [Discuss] hpc-novice revival? Dear list members, as 2016 ends, 2017 begins. With it, some unique opportunities are arising to revive hpc-novice, aka the novice HPC lessons that we once discussed and laid out to get into SC16. https://github.com/swcarpentry/hpc-novice I see 2 possible venues in the near future in my geographic proximity, where we could apply for having a HPC novice lesson take place. parallel 2017: http://www.parallelcon.de/call_en.php (small and new conference) ISC2017: http://isc-hpc.com/tutorials.html (one of the standard HPC conferences in the year) [I am sure you can list more conferences on your continent here ...] and of course: https://www.software.ac.uk/cw17 (as a venue for having a first course or for working on its contents) To cut a long mail short: Who would be interested in trying to bring hpc-novice to new life? Or in other words, does the software carpentry community still think a hpc-novice lesson is worth pursuing? Best, Peter PS. I am currently unclear who maintains the above mentioned repo swcarpentry/hpc-novice as there are 4 unanswered PRs, some of which are over a year old. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.software-carpentry.org/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.software-carpentry.org/listinfo/discuss
