PRACE-CERN-GÉANT-SKAO kick-off workshop on High Performance Computing
PRACE-CERN-GÉANT-SKAO kick-off workshop on High Performance Computing 29 September
In this workshop we are looking forward to launch the technical activities of the High Performance Computing collaboration between CERN, SKAO, GEANT and PRACE.
The workshop will identify the challenges in facing HPC integration. After a general introduction on overall goals we will have detailed discussions on the areas of work and related technical demonstrators. The event will focus on discussions and team-forming around four areas of work: training and center of expertise, authorisation and authentication, benchmarking and data access.
The event will take place online, more information will follow shortly.
