I want other people to use my CMake package! Participants will need to arrive with: laptop with Unix shell, recent version of CMake, compiler.  Register here: https://tacc.utexas.edu/use-tacc/training/2024/cmake/ Parking information will be sent prior to the event date.  Webinar: Version Control with Git + CI/CD with GitHub Actions Monday May 13, 2024  |  1PM – 4PM CST(virtual only)Overview:This workshop will cover the essentials of Git, GitHub, and GitHub Actions. The content is tailored to domain scientists wanting to work collaboratively on code and add automation to certain parts of their workflows. Topics covered include version control basics with Git, hosting a repository on GitHub, working collaboratively with others, and using GitHub Actions for automation and continuous integration / continuous deployment.Hands-on participation is encouraged. Attendees will benefit the most if they are prepared with a laptop and access to the Git CLI, a GitHub account, and a Docker Hub account. Register here: https://tacc.utexas.edu/use-tacc/training/2024/version-control-with-git/UPCOMING:  REGISTRATION FOR TACC'S SUMMER INSTITUTE SERIES OPENS SOON!  https://tacc.utexas.edu/use-tacc/training/

To be eligible to participate on Frontera, your application must have already successfully run on at least 2,048 nodes in the "large" Queue on Frontera.  For access to the Frontera "large" queue, please submit a ticket with scaling data. On the last day of Texascale Days, Monday, February 12, 2 hour blocks will be available for large-scale benchmarking efforts rather than production runs.  The other days will be set aside for production runs.  On these days, each project will have dedicated access to the number of nodes requested for a 24 hour period starting at 1000 AM CST.To request to participate, please fill out and submit the form: https://forms.gle/YVub1ShUXjZsgbnP7Please submit any questions you may have through the TACC Consulting System or feedback form:  https://tacc.utexas.edu/portal/tickets
