Training & Education

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

We want our users to be able to optimally use our HPC systems. Therefore, the MPCDF provides training and educational events  for the MPG and its partners. From the basic introduction of how to use our systems to focused advanced workshops and lectures, we give our users the means to master their work on our systems.

Courses and workshops arranged by or in collaboration with the MPCDF

Accelerated Machine Learning and Deep Learning with Intel

  • Start: Mar 8, 2023 09:30 AM (Local Time Germany)
  • End: Mar 9, 2023 04:00 PM
  • Speaker: Intel AI Team
  • Location: online via Zoom
  • Host: MPCDF
  • Contact: training@mpcdf.mpg.de
During this workshop, we will showcase how to accelerate your classical Machine Learning and Deep Learning workloads on Intel architecture. We will present the Intel optimizations of commonly used data science libraries such as Pandas, classical Machine Learning libraries such as Scikit-learn and XGBoost and of course, the optimizations of Deep Learning libraries such as Tensorflow and PyTorch. We will also discuss various topics regarding hyperparameter optimization, AI on HPC system, inference optimization with OpenVINO library and compression techniques using Intel Neural Compressor.

  • Contact: training@mpcdf.mpg.de
NVIDIA and the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF) are hosting a GPU Bootcamp open to all researchers and code developers of the Max Planck Society (MPG). During this online Bootcamp, participants will learn how to apply AI tools, techniques, and algorithms to real-life problems. You'll study the key concepts of Deep Neural Networks, how to build Deep Learning models, and how to measure and improve the accuracy of your models. You'll also learn essential data preprocessing techniques to ensure a robust machine learning pipeline. This online Bootcamp is a hands-on learning experience where you'll be guided by step-by-step instructions with mentors on hand to help throughout the process. [more]
