Who is the training for
Academic end users in HPC and quantum simulations. Students, master students, postdocs, researchers and code developers in HPC and applied chemistry at universities and research centres, working for supercomputer centers, members of HPC and Domain-specific Codes Communities, experimental laboratories, and CoEs, are welcome to TREX training events. Trainers, Managers of academic curricula and courses are also involved in target train-the-trainers activities to target training/skills development, improvement of the capacity building and education programme for (academic and non-academic) users in quantum chemical simulations and HPC applications.
Members of the European HPC ecosystem, the other Centres of Excellence on HPC are involved in technical and co-design documentation production and testing suites, in the organisation of hands-on workshops and schools for users and developers. In particular, collaboration with the broad HPC ecosystem is fundamental to maximise benchmarks for improving future HPC infrastructure and contribute to the EuroHPC strategy.
Hardware manufacturers and industrial players. Ad-hoc training can be organised on specific use cases coming from the manufacturer’s market to provide guidelines for industrial players on how to design hardware products compliant with the TREX platform.
