Starting with user-level workshops for experimentalists and theoretical studies alike, we are performing a first user workshop this week with mainly internal people at HZDR. Based on the collected feedback and experience, we are planning a second workshop beginning of next year. If you are interested in joining or you know interested people, please forward this mail and contact us (a.huebl@hzdr.de) with preferred dates. A PIConGPU user workshop will take roughly 3.5 to 4.5 days, depending on on-demand sessions on the last day and covers topics from introduction to the PIC method as such and common rules of thumb and pitfalls to PIConGPU simulation setup, data post-processing and modern in situ analysis. Lectures and exercises will be held at HZDR and are roughly limited to 15 attendees per workshop. PIConGPU is a general, open source, manycore PIC code and as such also runs on CPUs in case you don't have a GPU cluster. For our user workshop, a background in (laser-)plasma physics is helpful and a basic understanding of Python for standard data analysis is recommended, we will introduce everything else. At a later stage or for interested individuals, we are also thinking about developer workshops. Please tell us if you are interested in such a format as well. Looking forward to your interest!
