First MAELSTROM Boot Camp at JSC

The EuroHPC project MAELSTROM organized the first of two planned bootcamps at JSC. From 27 to 30 September 2022, 32 participants from all over the world and 16 tutors from the MAELSTROM project partners enjoyed an intensive training course on HPC-powered machine learning (ML) applications in weather and climate. The programme consisted of introductory lectures on ML methods, selected meteorological topics, and the Jülich HPC systems, more detailed lectures on the ML approaches of the six meteorological applications in MAELSTROM, and comprehensive hands-on tutorials based on the MAELSTROM applications. The tutorials were realized as Python notebooks on the Jupyter-JSC platform. Preparations for the bootcamp were supported by the Helmholtz AI team at JSC, who also provided technical support for this event. Two bootcamp participants from the African Institute for Mathematical Studies received travel support from the MAELSTROM project after they were selected in a competitive procedure from 26 high-quality applications.
