Workshop on High Performance Computing facility management

This workshop is organised by the University of Luxembourg in collaboration with the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) of Thailand. It brings together the team managing the High Performance Computing facilities of University of Luxembourg and experts from NSTDA Research Units – National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC), National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC), National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) and the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC).

The workshop will cover HPC facility administration topics, from strategy and policy to operations management. The workshop’s technical sessions are oriented towards facility management staff and will incorporate the user-oriented practical sessions of University of Luxembourg’s summer HPC School.
