Participants will put their new knowledge to the test on the Leonardo EuroHPC JU supercomputer (https://leonardo-supercomputer.cineca.eu/hpc-system/) with theory sections and practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises. \n\n\n\nIn recent years\, computing technologies underlying materials modelling and electronic structure calculation have evolved rapidly. High-performance computing (HPC) is transitioning from petascale to exascale\, while individual compute nodes are increasingly based on heterogeneous architectures that every year become more diversified due to different vendor choices. In this environment\, electronic structure codes also have to evolve fast in order to adapt to new hardware facilities. \n\n\n\nNowadays\, state-of-the-art electronic structure codes based on modern density functional theory (DFT) methods allow treating realistic molecular systems with a very high accuracy. However\, due to the increased complexity of the codes\, users need some extra skills in order to fully exploit their potential. \n\n\n\nThe applications\n\n\n\nQUANTUM ESPRESSO (https://www.quantum-espresso.org/) is one of the most popular suites of computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modelling at the nanoscale\, based on density-functional theory\, plane waves\, and pseudopotentials. It is able to predict and give fundamental insights about many properties of materials\, molecular systems\, micro and nanodevices\, biological systems\, in many fields\, providing a huge amount of data for data-driven science applications. \n\n\n\nSIESTA (http://www.max-centre.eu/codes-max/siesta) is a pseudopotential-based DFT software whose strength lies in its use of atomic-like strictly-localised basis sets: the use of a “good first approximation” to the full problem decreases the number of basis functions needed to achieve a given accuracy\, and the finite support of the orbitals leads to sparsity in the Hamiltonian and overlap matrices\, thus enabling the use of reduced-scaling methods. The functionalities of SIESTA include\, amongst others\, the calculation of energies and forces\, molecular-dynamics simulations\, band structures\, densities of states\, spin-orbit couplings\, van der Waals functionals\, DFT+U for correlated systems\, real-time TDDFT\, and non-equilibrium calculations with TranSIESTA. \n\n\n\nYAMBO (http://www.yambo-code.eu/) is an open-source code implementing first-principles methods based on Green’s function (GF) theory to describe excited-state properties of realistic materials. These methods include the GW approximation\, the Bethe Salpeter equation\, nonequilibrium GF (NEGF) and TDDFT\, allowing for the prediction of accurate quasiparticle energies (e.g. ARPES band structures)\, linear and non-linear optical properties\, capturing the physics of excitons\, plasmons\, and magnons. It is also possible to calculate temperature-dependent electronic and optical properties via electron-phonon coupling and nonequilibrium and non-linear optical properties via NEGF real-time simulations (pump-probe experiments\, etc). \n\n\n\nWhat you will learn\n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, participants will learn how to launch the most common types of calculations (e.g. scf\, phonons\, quasi-particle energies\, time-dependent properties) using Quantum ESPRESSO\, Yambo and SIESTA\, how to prepare input files and how to read output files in order to extract the desired properties. \n\n\n\nYou will discuss efficient exploitation of HPC resources\, with particular emphasis on how to use the different schemes of data distribution (e.g. plane waves\, pools\, images) in combination with the different parallelization and acceleration schemes (MPI\, OpenMP\, GPU-offload) available in Quantum ESPRESSO\, SIESTA and Yambo. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\nThis workshop is for researchers and engineers who already have some previous experience with materials modelling and electronic structure calculations: \n\n\n\n\nBasic familiarity with density functional theory (DFT)\, self-consistent field (SCF) calculations and plane wave basis sets is desirable as the workshop will not cover the fundamental theory of these topics.\n\n\n\nBasic familiarity with working in a Linux environment and some experience with working on an HPC system is needed to participate in the hands-on exercises.\n\n\n\n\nDisclaimer\n\n\n\nDue to EuroCC2 regulations\, we cannot except generic or private email addresses.

Currently\, the majority of HPC computing power available to researchers and engineers is provided by GPUs or other types of accelerators. Programming GPUs and other accelerators is thus increasingly important to developers who write software that is executed on HPC systems. \n\n\n\nThe landscape of GPU hardware\, software\, and programming environments is complicated. Multiple vendors compete in the high-end GPU market\, each vendor provides their own software stack and development toolkits\, and even beyond that\, there is a proliferation of tools\, languages\, and frameworks that can be used to write code for GPUs. It can thus be difficult for individual developers and project owners to know how to navigate this landscape and select the most appropriate GPU programming framework for their projects based on the requirements of a given project and the technical specifics of existing code. \n\n\n\nENCCS Lessons\n\n\n\nHave a look at ENCCS lesson materials where you can find multiple lessons on GPU programming\, data analysis\, HPC optimisation\, and more! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDisclaimer\n\n\n\nDue to EuroCC2 regulations\, we CAN NOT ACCEPT generic or private email addresses.

Julia is a modern high-level programming language that is fast (on par with traditional HPC languages like Fortran and C) and relatively easy to write like Python or Matlab. It thus solves the two-language problem\, i.e. when prototype code in a high-level language needs to be combined with or rewritten in a lower-level language to improve performance. Although Julia is a general-purpose language\, many of its features are particularly useful for numerical scientific computation\, and a wide range of both domain-specific and general libraries are available for statistics\, machine learning\, and numerical modeling. \n\n\n\nWho is this workshop for?\n\n\n\nThis lesson material is targeted toward students\, researchers and developers who: \n\n\n\n\nare already familiar with one or more programming languages (Julia\, Python\, R\, C/C++\, Fortran\, Matlab\, …)\n\n\n\nneed to analyze big data or perform computationally demanding modeling or analysis\n\n\n\nwant to develop high-performance data science software but prefer to stay within a productive high-level language.\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\n\nExperience in one or more programming languages.\n\n\n\nFamiliarity with basic concepts in linear algebra and machine learning.\n\n\n\nBasic experience with working in a terminal is also beneficial.\n\n\n\nParticipants are expected to install Julia\, VSCode and Zoom before the workshop starts\n\n\n\n\nKey takeaways\n\n\n\nJulia for High-Performance Data Analysis starts by briefly covering the basics of Julia’s syntax and features\, and then introduce methods and libraries which are useful for writing high-performance code for modern HPC systems.

The number of GPU-enabled supercomputers on the Top500 has been steadily increasing in recent years and this trend is expected to continue. Programming GPUs and other accelerators is thus crucial for developers to run software on HPC systems. \n\n\n\nHowever\, the landscape of GPU hardware\, software and programming environments is complicated. Multiple vendors compete in the high-end GPU market\, with each vendor providing its own software stack and development toolkits. Even beyond that\, there is a proliferation of tools\, languages and frameworks that can be used to write code for GPUs. It can thus be difficult for individual developers and project owners to know how to navigate this landscape and select the most appropriate GPU programming framework based on the requirements of a given project and the features provided by existing code. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is meant to help both software developers and decision makers navigate the GPU programming landscape and make more informed decisions on which languages or frameworks to learn and use for their projects. \n\n\n\nWho is this webinar for?\n\n\n\nThis webinar is most relevant to early career researchers and engineers who already develop software which runs on CPUs in workstations or supercomputers\, but also to decision makers or project leaders who don’t write code but have a managerial role in software projects\, whether it’s in academia\, industry or the public sector. \n\n\n\nKey takeaways\n\n\n\nBy the end of this webinar\, the participants will: \n\n\n\n\nunderstand why and when to use GPUs\n\n\n\nunderstand the fundamentals of GPU architecture\n\n\n\nget introduced to key concepts in GPU programming models\n\n\n\nacquire a comprehensive overview of different software frameworks\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMore events & contact\n\n\n\nCheck out more upcoming events from ENCCS and our European network at https://enccs.se/events. \n\n\n\nFor questions regarding this workshop or general questions about ENNCS training events\, please contact training@enccs.se \n\n\n\nSchedules can change!\n\n\n\nTo ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate\, we kindly request that you let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend an event after registering. \n\n\n\nPlease send us an email at training@enccs.se to cancel your attendance. \n\n\n\nWe understand things can change\, but repeated cancellations without notice may unfortunately result in your name being removed from future event registration lists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegulations\n\n\n\nDue to EuroCC2 regulations\, we CAN NOT ACCEPT generic or private email addresses.

(Webinar) DESCRIPTION:Register here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the webinar\n\n\n\nAI Factories are a new mega-project of the European Union and the world’s largest public investment in Artificial Intelligence. But what does this mean in practice? \n\n\n\nAI Factory hubs will form a network of “one-stop shops” that provide startups\, SMEs\, and researchers with low-threshold access to AI-optimised supercomputers\, technical expertise\, and training. A key focus here is ensuring AI trustworthiness\, making cutting-edge AI both powerful and responsible. \n\n\n\nFollowing the selection of the first seven AI Factories by EuroHPC Joint Undertaking in 2024 (Sweden included)\, six more were announced on 12 March 2025. These centres will enable breakthrough research and real-world applications\, supporting industries such as healthcare\, energy\, and climate. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, our speakers will walk you through the core concept behind AI Factories and their role in Europe’s AI strategy\, as well as services\, synergies with existing HPC/AI initiatives like EuroCC\, the infrastructure\, jobs\, and opportunities these new hubs will bring. \n\n\n\nAfter short talks\, we invite you to join the Q&A session and ask everything you want to know.

The use of deep learning has seen a significant increase of popularity and applicability over the last decade. While it serves as a powerful tool for researchers across various domains\, taking the first steps into the world of deep learning can be somewhat intimidating. \n\n\n\nThis three-day online workshop aims to provide beginners with a foundational understanding of deep learning concepts\, workflows\, network architectures\, and applications. \n\n\n\nOn the first two days\, a gentle introduction to deep learning is presented. Starting with explanation of the basic concepts\, we dive into different steps of a deep learning workflow using Python\, Tensorflow and Keras – preparation of training data\, implementation of a basic neural network\, monitoring & troubleshooting the training process\, and visualizing results & model performance. \n\n\n\nOn the final day of the workshop\, we conclude with demos of three representative applications. These will illustrate how deep learning is shaping modern technology across healthcare\, image processing\, and natural language understanding. \n\n\n\n\nDeep learning is revolutionising drug discovery by accelerating the identification of potential drug candidates and reducing research costs. For this application case\, we will start from a Transformer-based tool trained on scRNA-seq data\, getting familiar with the resulting embeddings and then adapt it to a specific scenario through fine-tuning\, identifying promising proteins and finding potential molecular candidates for fixing issues through techniques such as molecular simulations.\n\n\n\nComputer vision enables machines to interpret and analyse visual data\, with deep learning models excelling at image classification\, object detection\, and segmentation.
