November 2026 eingestellt. Alle über den Service betriebenen Webseiten werden zu diesem Zeitpunkt deaktiviert; anschließend werden die zugehörigen Daten dauerhaft gelöscht. Betroffene Webseiten sollten daher rechtzeitig auf eine alternative Hosting-Lösung umgestellt werden. \nUm Sie bei diesem Übergang zu unterstützen\, bietet das IT Center mehrere Online-Sprechstunden an. Hier erhalten Sie Antworten auf Ihre Fragen rund um die Einstellung des Services – beispielsweise zum Migrationsablauf\, zu Hosting-Alternativen oder zum Umzug bestehender Domains. \nDie Sprechstunden richten sich an alle Verantwortlichen von Webseiten\, die derzeit den Webhosting-Service der FH Aachen nutzen. Bringen Sie gerne Ihre individuellen Fragen mit – das Team des IT Centers unterstützt Sie bei der Planung und Umsetzung der Migration. \n  \nDatum: Freitag\, 4.

The conference language is English. \nJoin us to learn\, experiment and connect – your future in scientific computing starts here. \n  \nCall for Contributions\nSciCoCo.nrw is open to all topics connected with computer-based research\, spanning from Research Software Engineering (RSE)\, over Research Data Managemenent (RDM)\, Data Literacy (DL)\, and High-Performance Computing (HPC) to Artifical Intelligence (AI). \nThe thematic groupings are not intended to imply final track decisions but rather to facilitate community engagement and feedback and a first classification for reviewing contributions. \nThe final SciCoCo.nrw program will be curated from your contributions. \n  \nImportant Dates\n\nAbstract Submission Deadline: Jun 26\, 2026\nNotification of Acceptance: Jun 29\, 2026\n\n\n\nMore information & registration URL:https://blog.rwth-aachen.de/itc-events/en/event/scicoco-nrw/ CATEGORIES:HPC Events,HPC.nrw,SciCoCo.nrw,Wiederkehrend END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261001 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261003 DTSTAMP:20260910T201928 CREATED:20260220T143354Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260908T084856Z UID:7851-1790812800-1790985599@blog.rwth-aachen.de SUMMARY:[:de]aiXcelerate: CLAIX-2025 Porting and Tuning Workshop[:en]CLAIX-2025 Porting and Tuning Workshop[:] DESCRIPTION:in cooperation with \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nCLAIX-2025 Porting and Tuning Workshop\nas part of the aiXcelerate workshop series \nOctober 1 – 2\, 2026\n  \nDescription\nThe CLAIX-2025 Porting and Tuning Workshop at RWTH Aachen University (NHR4CES@RWTH) is part of our aiXcelerate workshop series. It targets at users of the HPC cluster CLAIX. With CLAIX-2025\, the CPU architecture changes from Intel to AMD. With that\, it might be beneficial or recommended ro re-compile HPC user codes and adapt flags or tuning strategies to the new software toolchain and hardware architecture. This workshop comprises lectures that are open to everyone\, and hands-on parts where HPC users can port and tune their own (!) codes together with HPC experts from RWTH Aachen University and AMD. Catering is sponsored by NEC. \n  \n>> Pick & choose what is of interest for you! <
