Hi,
I am happy to announce that we are planning PIConGPU user workshops for
interested students and post-docs!
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!
Best regards on behalf of the PIConGPU community,
Axel Huebl
