Conditions
We offer the following types:
- Courses - usually several days,
- Workshops - usually shorter
Location and schedule
If not stated otherwise all courses take place in the premises of the ZDV on Campus of Johannes Gutenberg University. Please check the precise location for the course as the lecture rooms may vary between courses. Lecture room and lecture times will be send to the participants in advance.
The same is valid for courses to be hold online: URLs will be announced to the participants in advance.
Requirements
For all course that require the use of our HPC systems we arrange course accounts for the participants - if not stated otherwise. Please mind that the course accounts will be deleted after the course finished.
Further requirements
- Participants should be able to write on a keyboard
- Without signing up you can't join the course.
- Please inform us as early as possible if you can't participate your course. We reserve the right to exclude participants from future courses that didn't show up without resigning.
- Participants should be interested in HPC or expect to use HPC resources soon. Non-HPC-Users may participate but we reserve the right to exclude those.
- Our courses and especially the Introduction to HPC require the participants to know basic shell usage. If you don't know shell you may want to sign up for our Bash-Intro
- The standard language is English (if not all participants are fluent in German).
- Many faculties offer the possibility to get ECTS points - details are to be asked at your faculty. The HPC-Team only offers a Certificate of attendance.
- Additional requirements are denoted at each course if applicable
A course usually needs at least 15 participants. A workshop needs at least 6 participants. If less participants sign up we may cancel a course or a workshop.
How can I sign up for a course/workshop?
We use Ilias-Elearning-System for our courses. Third party courses may use other booking systems.
- It's required to log in to Ilias with an University-Account. Every HPC user has an University-Account. You can check on the Account-Website. If you don't have an University-Account:
- Employees of the Medical Department should ask their local account managers first.
- Members of external Institutions can get guest accounts. Please check the Accountsite of the ZDV or contact us.
- Depending on your language settings you have to press "Beitreten" or "Join" at the selected course.
What if the course is full?
Please still sign up - there's a waiting list. Sometimes you could get a seat if somebody resigns. Anyways, the amount of participants is an indicator for us to adapt our course program.
