Dear NERSC users, We have more upcoming training events in September and October that you are encouraged to register and attend events that are interesting to you: 4) NERSC New User Training, September 28 (announced earlier) Current Cori users who have not started or are working on migrating their applications to Perlmutter are encouraged to attend presentations on using Perlmutter NERSC is hosting a one-day training event for new users on Wednesday, September 28, 2022. The goal of the training is to provide users new to NERSC with the basics on NERSC computational systems; accounts and allocations; programming environment, running jobs, tools, and best practices; and the data ecosystem. This training will be focused on Perlmutter. *Current Cori users who have not started or are working on migrating their applications to Perlmutter are encouraged to attend presentations on using Perlmutter.* For more information and to sign up, please see https://www.nersc.gov/users/training/events/new-user-training-sept2022/. 7) VASP User Training, September 27 NERSC will host an online, hands-on user training for VASP users on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, from 10:00 am-noon (Pacific Time). The purpose of the training is to help VASP users to use VASP on the Perlmutter and Cori systems efficiently. The training will begin with a 40-minute presentation, followed by an 80-minute hands-on session. For more information and to register, please see https://www.nersc.gov/users/training/events/vasp-user-hands-on-training-on-september-27-2022/ 8) TotalView Tutorial, September 29 (rescheduled from the original Sept 15 date)NERSC is hosting a training event on the TotalView debugger on Thursday, September 29, 2022. TotalView is a debugger that can be used to debug your parallel or serial C, C++, Fortran, and CUDA applications. In this training, engineers from Perforce Software (the makers of TotalView) will teach and demonstrate how to use the TotalView tool for debugging parallel codes on GPUs and CPUs. For more information and to register, please see https://www.nersc.gov/users/training/events/totalview-tutorial-september-29-2022/ 9) OLCF VisIt Tutorial, October 13VisIt is an interactive parallel analysis and visualization tool for scientific data. This powerful tool can be used for many types of visualization use cases, including interactive visualizations, animation across time steps, and manipulation with a variety of operators and mathematical expressions. VisIt is capable of visualizing data from more than 120 different scientific data formats. OLCF will be providing a beginner-friendly demo on October 13 that provides an overview of accessing VisIt at OLCF and a tutorial on using VisIt to visualize different datasets on OLCF's Andes cluster. Non-OLCF users are welcome to attend but will not be able to participate in the exercises on Andes. Active participation is not required, however, as the tutorial examples can be followed after attending (it is especially suggested to follow along with the examples while watching the video recording after the event). For more information and to register, please see https://www.nersc.gov/users/training/events/visit-at-olcf-october-13-2022/. 10) NERSC Data Day 2022, October 26-27 Cori users migrating their data applications to Perlmutter are highly encouraged to join NERSC is rebooting its data-centric training, Data Day, as a hybrid two-day event on October 26-27, 2022. Join us for talks, tutorials, and hands-on hacking designed to get you up and running with the latest and greatest data-focused tools for scientific computing on Perlmutter. We strongly encourage attendance from Graduate Students, Postdocs, and others who have an active role in development. With the announcement of Cori's approaching retirement in January 2023, *users migrating their data applications from Cori to Perlmutter are also highly encouraged to join.* The event is open to users of all experience levels but will focus on intermediate and advanced topics which will help data workloads run performantly at scale. We strongly encourage attendance from graduate students, postdocs, and others who have an active role in development. In addition to advanced tutorials on topics such as python, containers, workflow tools, and data transfer, morning sessions will feature brief lightning talks from NERSC users. You are encouraged to submit a brief lightning talk! Afternoon sessions will take the form of hacking sessions, in which participants will have access to NERSC experts and the opportunity to implement tools in their workloads. For more information and to register, please see https://www.nersc.gov/users/training/events/data-day-2022-october-26-27/.
