Description

The HPC team of the University of Groningen is one of the main founders of the European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI). This collaborative project focuses on providing a common scientific software stack that can be used on virtually any Linux machine (and Windows, using WSL), including workstations, laptops, virtual machines, and HPC clusters.

By having this uniform software stack available, it will be much simpler to hop between different systems. You can first try to run the software on your own computer, then run the exact same version on for instance an HPC cluster like the university's Hábrók cluster, and even do the same on larger national or European clusters.

In this presentation we will give an overview of EESSI. We will also do a live demo to show how easy it is to use EESSI on the Hábrók cluster and on your own computer.
