Livermore Computing training events cover a range of HPC related topics of interest to LC users. As events are scheduled, they will appear here. In addition to the training events listed here, see our tutorials page which includes materials from these events and other topics. Beyond LC, links are provided to other HPC training resources that may be of interest to LC users.

LC Training Events

Date Title Description, registration and additional information
June 3 - 4, 2024 HPC Carpentry workshop This is a two day in-person workshop; it is recommended for complete novices to high performance computing (HPC) who are preparing to use supercomputing resources via Livermore Computing. The workshop will cover an introduction to the Unix shell, HPC concepts like clusters, schedulers, modules and parallel computing, and an HPC workflow tool. Spots will be limited.
June 5 - 6, 2024 HPC Carpentry workshop Repeat of June 3 - 4 event, above.
