Nice day in Lucerne and excellent opportunity to learn about CSCS’s work and interact with the staff. This was my second CSCS Lab Day, and altough I am not working in the HPC field, I learned a lot.
This event is interesting, because it is focused on the interaction of HPC users with the CSCS infrastructure, so you can get a lot of information about containers, virtualization and CSCS user environment, without being overwhelmed with all the HPC specific stuff.
The day started with a talk given by Prof. Demenico Giardini, ETH Zurich who described, how the Seismometer of the InSight Mars mission was developped and deployed and what results obtained were so far.
