The NDGF All Hands meeting was held at Umeå University this time, on Tuesday, 6 November 2018.
This is a meeting for NT1 staff, and local NDGF site sysadmins. It started out with a session for internal topics to the NT1, then after lunch there was a session for all the local site admins from around the Nordics.

Local organizer for the meeting was Mattias Wadenstein, HPC2N.
The NorduGrid Collaboration invites ARC developers, system administrators and interested ARC users to our next face to face retreat in Umeå, Sweden. The purpose of the autumn retreat is to introduce the next major ARC release, the ARC 6 to site administrators and community developers.
The 6th Swedish Workshop on Data Science (SweDS18) will be hosted in Umeå University on November 20-21, 2018.
This two day course gives a practical introduction to deep learning, convolutional and recurrent neural networks, GPU computing, and tools to train and apply deep neural networks for natural language processing, images, and other applications.
The workshop is given by Software Carpentry in cooperation with HPC2N.
The topics for this workshop will be:
Date: 9-10 October 2018
Time: 9:00 - 17:00 both days
Venue: N270
Deadline for registration is 4 October 2018.
In this course we begin with a short introduction to Linux, which is what is used on HPC2N's compute clusters. This part is only meant for complete beginners to the Linux operating system, and can be omitted if you are proficient already.
This two days workshop is arranged together with PRACE, and will have instructors from Intel. The course focuses on programming and optimizing the Intel Knights Landing Manycore Processor. It addresses the Intel® Xeon Phi™, codenamed “Knights Landing (KNL)” architecture and how to best use it efficiently.
The purpose of this course is to give a short overview of the most important aspects of OpenMP and MPI. The first half of the day will be focused on OpenMP and the second half of the day on MPI. There will also be a part on how to use profiling tools (VTune) to optimize your code.
If you are only interested in either OpenMP or MPI, it is possible to just attend the relevant part of the course.
Please bring your own laptop if you wish to participate in the hands-ons.
Lunch and coffee/tea will be provided.
This one day MD course will look at enhanced sampling, with a focus on NAMD. During the afternoon there will be a hands-on where you get the opportunity to run a NAMD job at HPC2N.
Topics: Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Enhanced Sampling (Metadynamics and Accelerated Molecular Dynamics), NAMD at HPC2N.
Participation is free. Bring your laptop for the hands-on!
Lunch and afternoon coffee will be provided.
Time and date: 26 February, 2018. 10:00 - 16:30
