Work along side these experts to enhance your code’s scalability over 12 full hours of dedicated hands-on time. Test and debug as you go with exclusive full-system reservations for this premier scaling event.
Scaling Your Science on Mira is intended for experienced HPC users with near-term goals of applying for a major allocation award (i.e., INCITE or ALCC). Registrants will be reviewed for experience level and will be asked to provide both a research summary and goals for attending. The ALCF offers a variety of training opportunities for users at all levels.
The ALCF is pleased to offer this event free of charge to the HPC community.
