Announcement

We are excited to announce that the ALICE-SHARK User Meeting 2023 will take place on Tuesday, 6 June 2023 from 09:00 - 13:00.

If you are a user of the ALICE HPC cluster at Leiden University or the SHARK HPC cluster at the Leiden University Medical Center (or both), this meeting is for you. Our goal is to bring the user communities of both clusters together to connect with each other and the support teams of both clusters. The meeting is also of interest to users who are not yet actively using one of the two clusters.

The meeting will include an overview and update for both clusters, a selection of talks from users and an interactive Q&A session with the support teams.

We invite you to submit an abstract for a talk. All talks will be 15min in total and we recommend that the time is split 10min for slides and 5min for questions. Following the feedback from last year’s meeting, talks should have a more practical or technical focus and limited scientific content featuring for example your experience with the clusters, your workflows (anything from setting up jobs to moving data), plans for future projects, tools and software, tips and tricks.

Attendance is possible in person and remotely. For in-person attendees, the meeting will be held in room 1B01 of the Pieter de la Court building. For remote attendees, all sessions will be streamed live with the possibility to ask questions remotely.

  • Where:

    • in-person participants: Peter De La Court building, room 1B01 and Microsoft Teams

    • remote participants: Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams space (for in-person and remote participants)

All participants (in-person and remote) will be added to a Microsoft Teams space created specifically for the meeting. This has worked well last year which is why we will use it again this year.

The advantage for us is that Teams provide both, live streaming (with chat for questions) and a separate chat functionality for all participants independent of the live stream in multiple channels in a single application. The tool is also officially supported by both organizations (LEI and LUMC). 

Registered participants will receive an invitation one to two weeks in advance of the meeting to join the Teams space. Once the space is open, It can be actively used by all participants.
