Hands-on Workshop German National High Performance Computing Center / Atomistic Simulation Center, 22 March

Together with the Atomistic Simulation Center (ASC) we will teach you how to use the Amsterdam Modeling Suite locally and run simulations on the German HPC Center (NRC). The hands-on workshop will take place on 22 March in the afternoon. Participants will familiarize themselves with the graphical user interface, get started with basic calculations and run simulations on the ASC high-performance computers.

The workshop is aimed at academics in Germany. Register for the workshop in time to set up your local evaluation license and get access to the HPC machines on NHR-ASC.
