22/11/2022 From 22nd till 25th of November we will be running our popular *Python for Scientific Computing* course again.

21/10/2022 Upgrade of the triton login node: After running out of memory several times on our login node, we upgraded the memory from previously 128Gb to 256Gb. This is hopefully sufficient for most compilation and development work happening on the node. Any computation or memory intensive job should still be run on the compute nodes, but this upgrade provides us with a more robust system.

12/09/2022 September 2022, it is another academic year! We have CodeRefinery starting in one week: if you write code for research, then this is the workshop for you! Come and learn about git, jupyter, conda, reproducibility and much more. Click here for CodeRefinery Fall 2022 registration and info page.

9/06/2022 Join us today on Twitch.tv at 12:00 EEST for our Intro to Scientific Computing and HPC. The course is open to anyone with an internet connection. If you want to do the hands-on exercises with us, you need access to an HPC cluster. If you are at Aalto please apply for access to the triton cluster, otherwise check what is available at your institution. You can also watch without doing the practical parts, but we recommend registering anyway so you will be able to ask questions on HackMD.

17/01/2022 Join us for our next Twitch.tv courses dedicated to the basics of scientific computing and HPC: 2/Feb/2022 Intro to Scientific Computing and 3-4/Feb/2022 Intro to High Performance Computing. The course is open to anyone with an internet connection. For day 2+3 you need access to an HPC cluster. If you are at Aalto please apply for access to the triton cluster, otherwise check what is available at your institution. You can also watch without doing the practical parts, but we recommend registering anyway so you will be able to ask questions on HackMD.
