Starting October 2022, the ALICE and SHARK HPC teams will be running regular joined workshops for their users.
In the beginning, we will focus on introduction course to get new users started in using ALICE and SHARK. Of course, existing users are also welcome.
Later on, we will be looking at offering workshops for users on advanced topics.
Beginner Workshop “Introduction to HPC with ALICE and SHARK”
The HPC introduction workshop consists of a theoretical session and a practical session. For the latter, you need to bring your own laptop.

Advanced Workshop
We are working on setting up advanced workshops for ALICE and SHARK users. Like the beginner workshop, they will be open to users from both clusters and jointly given by both support teams.
In contrast to the beginner workshop, they will focus on a specific topic with topics changing from workshop to workshop. They will most likely feature a shorter presentation (compared to the beginner workshop) in order to have more room for questions and discussions.
Our plan is to start with the first workshop at the end of February. Details will be announced in early January.
We are maintaining a list of potential topics and suggestions from users are very welcome. You can send your suggestions to helpdesk@alice.leidenuniv.nl
