Training Opportunity for Transitioning to Derecho

On August 9, the new Derecho supercomputer officially opened to NCAR’s broader HPC user community. While Cheyenne will remain in service through December 31, all current NCAR HPC users are encouraged to migrate their workflows from Cheyenne to Derecho now rather than later. (Note that Casper users will not be impacted by this transition).

To support this transition, CISL's Consulting Services Group is offering multiple hybrid training sessions at each NCAR campus location to learn about Derecho. University users of NCAR's HPC systems are welcome to attend these sessions and sign up for one-on-one assistance.

Sessions will cover topics such as:

• Derecho's computational resources and hardware
• Allocation approval process
• Software environment changes
• Software engineering tools and workflow migration
• One-on-one or group consultation on project development or other HPC-related needs

Each session will include morning presentations plus Q&A from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. MT followed by hands-on troubleshooting and onsite office hours from 1-5 p.m.
