FH Sustainable Computing Workshop

17 Jan 2024, 09:00 → 18 Jan 2024, 18:00 Europe/Berlin

Hamburg SR 1 and 3 (see each session) (DESY)

The FH Sustainability Forum and FH IT experts present a 2-day workshop on Computing. In this workshop, participants will learn to write efficient code, use batch computing in a sustainable way, and more. Best practices will be taught by experts. This workshop is targeted towards students and postdocs, but open to anyone who feels like they would benefit from refreshing their memory or learning current best practices. Participants will learn how to develop more efficient code and how to maximize resources and minimize waste, with hands-on examples. These examples will be demonstrated with local computing clusters and are tailored to the needs of the FH division.

 

The second installment of this workshop will occur on January 17 and 18, 2024, in person on the Hamburg campus (with some zoom available). This second installment is targeted towards beginners. We plan to offer this workshop at regular intervals in the future, so that incoming students and postdocs can profit. The next workshop will target more advanced users.

Coffee breaks will be provided free of charge. Lunch is not included.
