Join our two-day workshop, “Getting Started with AI on LUMI,” designed to familiarize you with the capabilities of the LUMI supercomputer for artificial intelligence applications. This workshop is ideal for those looking to transition from smaller-scale computing environments like laptops, workstations, or cloud VMs to the robust, GPU-intensive LUMI platform.
Participants are invited to bring their own AI training scripts to the workshop, where they will receive personalized support to adapt and run them on LUMI’s advanced GPU system.
