HPC2N wishes all users of our systems a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

During the holidays we have reduced staffing. Answers to support questions may be delayed until after the holidays.

DEEP LEARNING AND MACHINE LEARNING WITH MATLAB

The seminar will be held at Umeå Folkets Hus, Miklagård, Skolgatan 59 (Vasaplan), in Umeå on Tuesday October 23rd, time: 09:00 to 12:00.

There is no cost to join the event, MATLAB only need registration through the link below.

Presenter is Emelie Andersson who is an application engineer at Mathworks specialized in the domain.

AGENDA:

09:00 Drop-in Registration & Breakfast

The SNIC Science Cloud (SSC)  invites all interested current and future users to a training workshop on an introductory level at Mid Sweden University, Campus Sundsvall, 10:00-16:00 on the 31^st of August.

We will introduce cloud computing in general, including covering the best practices around security and you will learn the basics of how to work with the OpenStack based Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).

The majority of the time will be spent in lab sessions on basic usage of the IaaS cloud.

Kebnekaise Expansion: A Welcome Addition for all Users

We are currently installing and verifying the expansion of Kebnekaise that we announced at the HPC2N Open House last fall. The expansion is a welcome addition to a heavily loaded Kebnekaise and will improve queueing times, particularly for GPU jobs. The expansion consists of a combination of standard Intel Xeon Gold 6132 (Skylake) CPU nodes and nodes also equipped with NVIDIA V100 Volta GPUs. This makes HPC2N one of the first accademic HPC sites in Europe to have the V100 GPUs in production.
