Description:
Introduction to Containers in HPC: Discover the fundamentals of containers and their use cases in AI research. Learn through practical examples how to deploy pre-built container images on our HPC cluster for efficient and scalable computations.

Building Custom Containers for HPC: Explore containers in-depth with a hands-on session on building custom containers from scratch. Learn how to create tailored solutions for specific research needs, enhancing flexibility and performance in applications requiring HPC clusters.


Pre-requisites:
Attendees should be familiar with at least one programming language like Python, some previous experience using a terminal will be a plus. Hands-on exercises are part of the training and will be provided in Python.

Requirements:
On-site attendees should bring with them their own laptop to follow the hands-on practical.
