EuroCC Austria and Slovenia are organizing an exciting Sprint Training Event: Introduction to EESSI – European Environment for Scientific Software Installations, together with CoE MultiXscale on 4 October 2024. The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI – pronounced “easy”) is a common stack of scientific software for HPC systems and beyond, including laptops, personal workstations, and cloud infrastructure. In many ways it works like a streaming service for scientific software, instantly giving you the software you need, when you need it, and compiled to work efficiently for the architecture you have access to. In this 2-hour online workshop, we’ll explain what EESSI is, how it is being designed, how to get access to it, and how to use it. We’ll give a number of demonstrations and you can try EESSI out yourself.

The recording and presentation of the talk “Streaming scientific software has never been so EESSI”, by Alan O’Cais, at HPCKP’24 Barcelona are already available online here: Abstract: Have you ever wished that all the scientific software you use was available on all the resources you had access to without having to go through the pain of getting them installed the way you want/need? The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI – pronounced “easy”) is a common stack of scientific software installations for HPC systems and beyond, including laptops, personal workstations and cloud infrastructure. In many ways it works like a streaming service for scientific software, instantly giving you the software you need, when you need it, and compiled to work efficiently for the architecture you have access to. In this talk, we’ll explain what EESSI is, how it is being designed, how to get access to it, and how to use it. We’ll include a number of demonstrations and review significant developments of the last 12 months (including support for NVIDIA GPUs, and active development for RISC-V systems). Download PDF

New Paper available at Faraday Discussions Journal: “Investigating the effect of particle size distribution and complex exchange dynamics on NMR spectra of ions diffusing in disordered porous carbons through a mesoscopic model”. The document is accesible for download here. The poster was recently presented at CECAM workshop: “Electrochemical Interfaces in Energy Storage: Advances in Simulations, Methods and Models”, carried out in CECAM-HQ-EPFL, Lausanne (Switzerland), from 18 to 21 June 20024.

Our coordinator, Matej Praprotnik, gave a talk and presented MultiXscale poster at the Austrian-Slovenian HPC Meeting 2024 – ASHPC24. He also chairs the Program committee. The event was carried out at Seeblickhotel Grundlsee (Austria) from 11-13 June 2024. ASHPC24 was organized by EuroCC Austria – National Competence Centre for Supercomputing, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, Austria and  EuroCC Slovenia in cooperation with the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC), Austria; the Research Area Scientific Computing in Innsbruck, Austria and the Slovenian consortium for high performance computing (SLING).

MultiXscale CoE contributed with a poster at the 4th Baltic HPC and Cloud Computing Conference, carried out in Riga (Latvia), from 11 to 12 April 2024. Historically, the conference was organized by Riga Technical University, HPCEuropa3 project, University of Tartu, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Since the development of National HPC Competence centres (NCCs) all over the Europe, the 4th Baltic HPC and Cloud Computing Conference was organized by six NCCs located near the Baltic sea region: Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. The recordings from the conference are published on EuroCC-Latvia “SuperS” YouTube channel here.

During the week of 18-21 March 2024, the EuroHPC community will be gathering the Antwerp (Belgium) for the EuroHPC Summit. Partners of the MultiXscale EuroHPC Centre-of-Excellence are actively involved with various aspects of the program. On the first day, the EESSI shared software stack will be showcased during the EuroHPC Demo Lab session of Vega. Pass by on Monday 18 March’24 (15:30-18:00) to witness a hands-on demonstration of how ESPResSo, which is one of the key applications in MultiXscale included in EESSI, can be used on Vega to simulate charged particles confined between two plates of a capacitor with a potential difference. MultiXscale will be featured in the “Centres of Excellence: Deploying Flagship Codes on EuroHPC Supercomputers” session on Tuesday 19 March’24 (11:30-13:00). Join the session to learn how the technical work we are doing can facilitate CI/CD for EuroHPC systems. Later on Tuesday, a poster on MultiXscale will be presented during the first poster session (14:15-15:15). Come visit us, and take home some stickers as a gift! Finally, we will also be actively involved in the “Elevate and Collaborate: European HPC NCCs and CoEs Workshop” on Thursday 21 March’24 (14:00-18:00), in the “Fishbowl” and “Success stories” sessions. We look forward to lots of interesting discussions, see you in Antwerp next week!
