Advancing your neuroscientific research to the next level

How to use high performance computing and cloud services to answer your scientific questions

January 18-20, 2022

Neuroscientific research comes along with a multitude of highly complex data. Using high performance computing (HPC) and cloud services can help to better process and understand your data and to get the maximum benefit for your personal research. This is why the Bernstein Facility for High Performance Simulation and Data Analysis is the central port of call for Bernstein members to access the facilities of the high-performance computers at Forschungszentrum Jülich.

This hands-on workshop will help you understand how to access the resources of the Jülich Supercomputing Center (JSC) and make the most of this opportunity for your specific research. Get inspired by professional use cases and benefit from the one-on-one exchange with the experts in high performance simulation and data analysis from Jülich.

Participation in the 2,5 day event is open to early career researchers (PhD and early Post-docs), regardless of their affiliation with the Bernstein Network. Currently, the event is planned as a hybrid workshop enabling both online and on-site participation. Yet, the global Covid-19 situation might call for a change of plan. In this case, the organizers will inform registered participants straight away.

On-site: Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, (limited to 25 participants, on-site participants need to follow the ‘2G-rule’ and be either vaccinated against or recovered from Covid-19)

Online: Zoom (Link will be sent prior to the event)

Course Language: English

Registration deadline: 25 November 2021
