This workshop is designed for either new HPC users, or for experienced users either transitioning to Slurm or seeking to improve efficiency with the scheduler. Compute Canada’s national systems use a job scheduler called “Slurm”. In this session you will learn how Slurm works and how it allocates jobs, helping you to: minimize wait time by framing reasonable requests; ask for only the resources you need, to improve efficiency; increase throughput; run more jobs simultaneously; and troubleshoot and address crashes. Prerequisites: Completion of Introduction to Linux and Introduction to Shell Scripting, or prior experience with both.

During this session, we will discuss how boosting the representation of women in the Canadian digital economy is key to our success. About this Event When: Wednesday, January 27, 2021 from 4:00pm to 5:30pm Where: via Zoom (a link will be included with your confirmation email)   Event Details: Emerging technologies like 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and others, will undoubtedly revolutionize our economy by changing the way we communicate, connect, and do business. However, part of our ability to innovate, drive commercialization, and support competition rests with talent. While the majority of employees in core ICT roles like software developers, network engineers, systems architects and others are men, women make up approximately half of the Canadian labour force, and come equipped with competencies and skills that can drive this sector and our digital economy forward. During this session we will discuss the importance of diversity and inclusion, and look at how boosting the representation of women in the Canadian digital economy is key to our success.   About the Presenter: Maryna Ivus Maryna Ivus is the Manager of Labour Market Research at ICTC. She has spent several years working as a researcher and enjoys approaching complex research challenges through […]
