Training opportunities for transitioning to Derecho

August 9, 2023

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. 

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

Sessions will be held virtually and at the following NCAR campuses in Boulder, Colorado on:  
  • Wednesday, August 16 at Center Green
  • Tuesday, August 22 at Mesa Lab
  • Tuesday August 29 at Foothills Lab 2

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. MT.

To sign up, please RSVP and let us know if you plan to take advantage of office hours.
