This event will introduce participants to the use of containers on HPC systems. After the course, attendees will have a greater understanding about the techniques and the steps needed to assemble units of software which package up all code and dependencies necessary to execute a specific task. The program includes both technical lectures from HBP partners including CNR, EPFL and ETHZ-CSCS, and extensive hands-on sessions focused on the implementation of containers for use cases of the HBP Brain Simulation Platform.

Requirements for attending the event:• Good knowledge of Python programming• Basic knowledge of web applications and programming Registration is free but mandatory. There is a maximum number of 30 participants.To register, please send an email with your technical background and interest in attending the event to alessia.bonafede@cnr.it
