Join us on July 17, 2025, for the Getting Started on Aurora and Polaris Bootcamp. 

The event will introduce attendees to using Aurora, Argonne's exascale machine, and Polaris. The event is aimed at participants who have experience using clusters or supercomputers. 

Topics covered include:

• Hardware Overview 
• Best practices for running, compiling (env variables, like JIT, check pointing)
• AI frameworks, Python
• Q&A

Please note that the hands-on portion is targeted for users that have access to Aurora or Polaris already. No new accounts will be provisioned for the bootcamp, but for current ALCF users please request to join the following project:

       Project:alcf_training

       PI: Yasaman Ghadar

      Join the project here. 

All the tutorials will become available on our GitHub repository and this bootcamp will be a live demonstration.

Solomon Bekele is a Postdoctoral Appointee at Argonne National Laboratory, specializing in performance and power optimization of heterogeneous high-performance computing (HPC) systems. His research focuses on developing tracing frameworks for heterogeneous systems and designing strategies to improve energy efficiency in exascale architectures. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from IIT Delhi, specializing in Computer Architecture, where he investigated resource contention aware performance-energy trade-offs in Chip Multiprocessors.
