Contents

The AI for Science Bootcamp will be hosted virtually for two half-days on June 25 - 26. This Bootcamp provides a step-by-step overview of the fundamentals of deep neural networks and walks attendees through the hands-on experience of building and improving deep learning models for applications related to scientific computing and physical systems defined by differential equations. The material will cover more advanced topics such as physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) and operator learning and make use of tools like NVIDIA Modulus to develop and train the models. This online bootcamp is a hands-on learning experience where you will be guided through step-by-step instructions with teaching assistants on hand to help throughout.

This bootcamp is co-organized by the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC), University of Donja Gorica (UDG), RISE Research Institutes Of Sweden (RISE), Linköping University (LiU), OpenACC organization, and NVIDIA for EuroCC Austria, EuroCC@GCS, EuroCC Montenegro, and EuroCC Sweden, all National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing.

Event Format

This 2 half-day bootcamp will be hosted online in the Central European Summer Time (CEST) zone. All communication will be done through Zoom, Slack and email.

Prerequisites
