I have officially started working as the training coordinator at #MimerAIF (https://mimer-ai.eu/). What better way to kick things off than a course?! These days I am teaching parts of the #PythonForScicomp course in partnership with @coderefinery and @SciCompAalto.
Tomorrow is the last day of the course, but you can still join!
https://scicomp.aalto.fi/training/scip/python-for-scicomp-2025/
I will be covering the episodes on #Cython and #Packaging.

https://scicomp.aalto.fi is a #Sphinx -generated site using #SphinxRtdTheme. Using #mastofeed, we embedded the @SciCompAalto timeline in the sidebar, and it seems to work well.
Code for copying: https://github.com/AaltoSciComp/scicomp-docs/blob/master/_templates/layout.html
- Anyone have design improvements?
- Mastofeed could use some care if someone has time, for example it suggests adding caching. My main worry is making excessive server load. -

Please somebody tell Alexander Warén that ex-twitter coverage is lower than the Fediverse because if you don't agree with their Terms of Service you can't follow it, while publishing in the Fediverse (or their own webpage) can be totally open without having to agree to someone's else terms https://yle.fi/a/74-20058030 @SciCompAalto #AlexanderWarén #fediverse #Finland #FinnishPresidentialElections #PresidentialDebate #Aalto #AaltoManagement

How busy is the #HPC cluster? Maybe the real question is "how long do I have to wait?". Our new blog post goes into some of these questions we get asked sometimes, and the high-level picture probably applies other places too.

Interested in how we do our online teaching: production values, streaming, everyone can attend, videos and materials available immediately? The @coderefinery Train the Trainer workshop will go over it all, 4 Tuesdays starting tomorrow EU mornings. Online, you can drop by for the days that interest you.

Our #SciComp / #HPC kickstart course starts tomorrow at 12:00 EEST / 11:00 CEST. It is livestream, so anyone can watch with no questions asked. Register for the Q&A document, even if you aren't at #AaltoUniversity (and we teach so that it's useful to others too).
Day 1: basic background and examples. Day 2-3: Using a cluster.

Our "#HPC Summer Kickstart" course is 4-6 June 2024 (EU afternoons). Everyone is invited: it's #livestream so yes, *you* can attend.
- Day 1: general #SciComp concepts and practices
- Day 2-3: Running stuff on a cluster (Slurm, batch jobs, interactive, parallel, etc).It's a first course that everyone should be able to follow. You can re-advertise to your colleagues and be their local guide to your own cluster.

All-day SciComp garage continues today to help with migrating to the new Triton (working hours only, and we'll stop if there are not enough visitors). If it's relevant to you, you should have links in your email or know how to find it. #AaltoUniversity

We updated the alias triton.aalto.fi to the new Triton (see email for info).

We recently got more stickers, this time focused on recognizing the whole #SciComp community at #AaltoUniversity:
- "SciComp Garage" stickers to tell about our daily recurring help session.
- "DO disturb" to recognize those who go above and beyond to help their colleagues - since they are the under-appreciated foundation of our work. -
#AaltoUniversity SciComp people: we recently had a "user group meeting" where we described some recent activities and asked for input on the future. If you missed it, you can read the slides here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vRGmkVhMYrZkGapsXAky7JYda2b-cP3uJ4tGhDzpzcVHX9VXINwnUhUVxutRbgW85be1kCy-Rbj8bwM/pub

On Friday, we'll have a lightweight Research Software #RSEng talk, where we'll demonstrate extracting a component out of some software, and releasing it as a separate #PyPI package. This is a quick informal thing, more "discussion-demo" than a talk. Anyone is welcome to join: Online, Friday 10:00 EET, info at https://scicomp.aalto.fi/tech/

How can you access our #PythonForSciComp videos without YouTube? Via this repository, #GitAnnex to distribute raw videos around. One of those places is a publicly accessible object storage, and with a few commands you can download the processed videos. https://github.com/coderefinery/video-processing/
Problem: yes, git-annex installation is a barrier. This isn't designed as a primary access method but a backup.

#PythonForSciComp 2023 is done, and it was probably one of the best instances so far. Videos are on YouTube; stay tuned for follow-up, "how we did videos so quickly", and the way to view them without YouTube.
As always, all materials will stay public and we welcome contributions for next year.

#PythonForSciComp day 3 is tomorrow, 8:50 CET. Almost everyone will find something new here:
- Scripts (break out of your IDE/Jupiter and make your work reusable)
- Library ecosystem (thoughts on reuse)
- Dependencies (make your environment reusable)
-Binder (make your code reusable by anyone in place)https://scicomp.aalto.fi/training/scip/python-for-scicomp-2023/

#PythonForSciComp videos are published for day 2. The course ended at 13:00 and by 18:06 all five videos from the 3 hour day are live, which is a new record (both speed and lack of frustration). Videos may not be that useful for someone learning later (we've got reading material for that), but it does allow instant reviewing and catching-up.

#PythonForSciComp (#Python for Scientific Computing) starts tomorrow and as usual, it's online and #livestream, so anyone can watch (9:00 CET). Drop ins are welcome, and Q&A/videos are usually published same-day.
Day 1 (tomorrow) starts with basics to make sure we are all on the same page: #Jupyter, #Numpy, #Pandas.

The #libwebp security vulnerability might affect #ComputationalScientist:s, especially those that make their own #conda environments and process image data (via code or apps). Our blog post discusses what a #SciComp person might need to know (and if you have corrections or more suggestions, please send them our way)

Course announcement:
Need to use more computer power, but this "#linux #shell" thing holding you back? Come learn the basics of being comfortable with a #LinuxShell for basic science and data management (#bash actually, but applies to other things like #OsX and #WSL. Course is hosted for #finland, but we welcome others, too.Online, Next week, 29-31 August (T-Th), EU afternoons: https://scicomp.aalto.fi/training/scip/linux-shell-basics-2023/

#AaltoSciComp was at CSC's LUMI-G course this week, so that you don't have to. (#LUMI is the new #GPU-focused #EuropHPC supercomputer)
Our evaluation: a great resource, but usage beyond compiling your own code may not yet be straightforward. We've been experimenting with it, so if you are at #AaltoUniversity, contact us about your projects and we can help run it on LUMI, if it makes sense. #RSEng #HPC

Ever wonder how much #electricity the #Triton #HPC cluster uses, or how we/you can reduce that, or if power cuts will effect it? A user asked us, so we wrote up a #sustainability statement:
https://scicomp.aalto.fi/about/sustainability/In short:
- The cluster is more efficient than your computer (and idles less)
- Come to us and we can help make your code or workflow more efficient #SciCompGarage
- #RollingBlackouts shouldn't affect Triton - so even more reason to use it
- We do think about this stuff
