ACENET workshop: Carpentries- Introduction to Computational Thinking

Computational thinking is an essential skill for anyone wanting to learn to program computers and write code. Designed for beginners curious about programming, but unsure where to begin, this workshop will take you through the steps involved in computational thinking 鈥  learning how to break down complex problems into smaller parts, identify patterns, and design logical solutions that a computer can execute. Through hands-on activities, you will practice techniques such as problem decomposition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking.

ACENET workshop: Job Scheduling with Slurm

The national systems use a job scheduler called 鈥淪lurm鈥. In this session you will learn how Slurm works and how it allocates jobs, helping you to: minimize wait time by framing reasonable requests; ask for only the resources you need to improve efficiency; increase throughput; run more jobs simultaneously; and troubleshoot and address crashes. This workshop is designed for new HPC users familiar with Linux and Shell Scripting, or for experienced users transitioning to Slurm or seeking to improve efficiency with the scheduler.
