Workshop participants will:

• Work directly with ALCF staff and industry experts during dedicated hands-on sessions
• Learn how to use available tools and frameworks to improve productivity and performance
• Hear from researchers running on early Aurora hardware
• Tour Argonne facilities, including Aurora

The workshop tracks will be built around HPC tools, programming models, AI/ML, workflows, vis, etc. ALCF asks registrants to share their interests in the registration form to better shape the agenda to attendees’ needs.

Attendees who wish to stay onsite are encouraged book rooms on the Argonne Guest House website. There will be a free shuttle to and from the guest house during the workshop. Argonne will not cover the cost of travel or lodging.
