As part of the eSCT training program, sciCORE, the scientific computing center at University of Basel is organizing a workshop on EasyBuild. The aim of the workshop is to learn, share information about and practice the EasyBuild software management tool, as a key component in the management of scientific HPC infrastructures. This is an advanced workshop, aimed at system administrators, user support teams, or anyone managing scientific software installation in HPC clusters. Even though we will touch advanced topics, it is not necessary previous knowledge; an experienced attendant who has not tried EasyBuild before should be able to follow the course without problems. Location This workshop will take place on March 2 2016, 9:00-16:00 at Klingelbergstrasse 61, Floor 13th, 4056 Basel, Switzerland Registration The workshop has a small fee of CHF 50 to cover for logistics, and is open to anyone interested. There is a limit of 20 participants due to space availability. Attendants are encouraged to bring their own laptops. For registration please follow the link http://www.isb-sib.ch/edu/Registration/SIB_courses_app.php?id=352 Program The workshop will have a practical approach, with a short first part for introduction and theory, and a second one for the hands-on session where more advanced topics will be touched. The main topics will be: General introduction: managing the software stack, understanding and writing EasyConfigs Hands-on practice Enhancing/extending EasyBuild Integration with RPM system Please feel free to forward this invitation to anyone interested. -- Pablo Escobar López HPC systems engineer sciCORE, University of Basel SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics http://scicore.unibas.ch
