[petsc-dev] Fwd: [MCS-PI] Cerebras AI Training workshop

[Barry Smith]

   PETSc folks,

   This actually seems like a pretty interesting machine for PETSc. It seems ANL has had it for a very long time but kept it off the website and didn't provide much access except to chosen people.

   It would be great if at least one PETSc person could attend to see if there are possibilities, though the course may focus exclusively on ML type workloads.

  Barry

> Dear All, 
>  
> We will be hosting a two-day Argonne user training workshop for the Cerebras AI system  on March 22 (Mon) and March 23 (Tuesday). This will be held from 12:00 PM to ~4:00 PM each day and will be virtual.
>  
> Here is a link to the registration page and we will share the meeting link with the accepted registrants. 
> https://events.cels.anl.gov/event/97/ <https://events.cels.anl.gov/event/97/>
>  
> For the training, we will provide an overview of the Cerebras hardware and the software stack. We will demonstrate how one can log into the system, run sample examples, and get started on the system.  Detailed agenda is on the registration page. We expect attendees to be very hands-on, port their science deep-learning workloads to run on the system, provide feedback on the system and contribute to the training materials. We expect to have more training sessions in the near future as well.
>  
> We plan to target this training session for users willing to be very much hands-on. We may need to filter attendees  based on the number of registrants for improved workshop experience and given system constraints. 
>  
> Please do forward this to others who will benefit from attending this. Do let us know if you have any questions and feel free to reach out to us.
>  
> Best regards,
> Murali, Rajeev and  Venkat
