Hi NERSC Users, Don't forget: the NUG monthly meeting will start in 30 minutes, at 11am PT, on https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/285479463 and continuing the conversation in the #webinars channel of the NERSC Users Slack ( https://www.nersc.gov/users/NUG/nersc-users-slack/) Our aim for these meetings is for a forum where NERSC and its users can celebrate successes, discuss difficulties and learn from each other. We'll follow the structure described below; please come along and join the discussion! - *Win-of-the-month:* open discussion for attendees to tell of some success you've had - e.g., getting a paper accepted, solving a problem, or achieving something innovative or high impact using NERSC. - *Today-I-learned:* open discussion for attendees to point out something that surprised them, or that might be valuable to other users to know. - *Announcements and CFPs:* upcoming conferences, workshops, or other events. - *Topic-of-the-day:* This month we'll talk about *"PSPS season, and what you can do about it"*. Last year we were alerted by PG&E for three potential PSPS events, and lost power in two of them. We don't always get a lot of notice, so long-running jobs are at risk of being terminated before they finish. One good solution is to use checkpointing to break your job into shorter spans. *Zhengji Zhao* from NERSC User Engagement Group will give some tips on checkpointing at NERSC, and then we'll have a *Q&A session about PSPS readiness* with *Zhengji*, NERSC Deputy of Operations *Jeff Broughton* and *Rebecca Hartman-Baker*, who leads the NERSC team that ensures our users are kept updated during such events. - *Coming up:* Nominations and requests for future topics - *Last month's numbers:* NERSC center metrics and info for the most recent month For more details, slides for today and extra connection and agenda information, please see https://www.nersc.gov/users/NUG/teleconferences/nug-webinar-sept-24/ We look forward to seeing you there!
