Training
ARCHER2 Helpdesk
There is a significant training programme in place, with a commitment to deliver 60 days of training a year. Courses on offer range from introductions to ARCHER2 and HPC, through to advanced programming techniques, and training for specific application codes.
The Service Desk is available Monday–Friday and provides a helpful, friendly, and responsive face to the service. The in-depth support team assists users with technical problems, working closely with them to ensure they are able to utilise the service.
While the expectation was that courses would be delivered face to face, COVID-19 has led to them being held online. Some positives have been observed here, with online and self-service courses offering greater flexibility and accessibility to users.
Embedded CSE (eCSE) The eCSE programme is up and running successfully, offering a regular series of funding calls that support Research Software Engineers (RSEs) across the country to enhance and develop application codes for ARCHER2.
Publicising research Finally, the success of ARCHER2 is driven by the success of the science completed on the system. If you have completed a piece of research on ARCHER2 or its predecessor ARCHER and would like to publicise your work, please get in touch. We are keen to showcase a range of science produced on the system. ARCHER2 is provided by UKRI, EPCC, HPE Cray and the University of Edinburgh.
