Advanced Training Series Sample Clauses

Advanced Training Series. The initiative of advanced HPC training stresses the values of supercomputing and cloud systems as an essential support for large-scale biomedical research. As a general fact, regular HPC-related training within CompBioMed presents the use of these systems to the communities and stakeholders, so that they learn how to integrate them in their everyday activities. However, the scope of the advanced HPC training task 6.4 actually aims at building a comprehensive set of new and/or enhanced courses to teach the required skills to optimize the exploitation of HPC resources with contents on programming, debugging, machine learning, software engineering and/or data management. As training is keeping a strong practical component, advanced HPC training also stays close to biomedical topics, which are always considered as main motivation and driving force for course developments. Some existing activities from CompBioMed1, such as the PRACE Short Course on HPC-Based Computational Biomedicine organized at BSC (with collaboration from a wide variety of partners), were already designed in a hybrid approach between biomedical and HPC content. In that sense, task 6.4 in CompBioMed2 will promote and increase the number of these types of training, using the initial level of expertise and biomedical background of the main target audience, and take learners to the advanced HPC topics. As a starting point, an understanding of the interests of CompBioMed partners together with communities and stakeholders will define the future catalogue of advanced HPC training. Therefore, the initial efforts were put into the definition of a compact course on essentials of parallel programming, advanced Linux and mastering the use of supercomputers with applied computations: these topics were included in a first event called “Cluster Computing for Computational Science”, where it was possible to combine contributions from SURF, UvA and Acellera. Future activities will look for further collaboration between partners and more advanced topics with applications: in particular, machine learning and sensitive data management are acknowledged as important topics, and further developments may be covering these topics.
