3. Workshop idea Expertise at University of Iceland, e.g.
Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Eng. and Computer Science:
Morris Riedel,
REI105M High Performance Computing
Reiknistofnun Háskóla Íslands (RHÍ):
Hjörleifur Sveinbjörnsson, Máni Maríus Viðarsson, …
IHPC cluster and community
Applications: Computational Physics, Computational Chemistry, Glaciology, Climate Change, …
Still, expertise in some advanced topics lacking  Combined workshop of internal and external experts!

4. NeIC Funding
Workshop kindly funded by NeIC, the Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration:
Goal: making the Nordics capable of tackling e-infrastructure challenges beyond what is possible on singular national scales.
Distributed organisation consisting of technical experts from academic high-performance computing centres across the Nordic countries.
Close collaboration with the Nordic e-Infrastructure Providers: Sigma2, SNIC, CSC, DeIC, RHnet/RHÍ.
Horizon 2020 Future and Emerging Technologies programme: DEEP – Extreme Scale Technologies (DEEP-EST).
Moral support from Nordic Center of Excellence eSTICC (eScience Tools for Investigating Climate Change at High Northern Latitudes).

5. How can you benefit from NeIC?
Training calendar (“Pooling Competencies”):
Code Refinery:
NeIC-provided training to create sustainable, modular, reusable, and reproducible SW.
Ratatosk:
Travel grants for interesting courses within the Nordic countries.
Glenna2:
Access to IaaS cloud computing resources
Dellingr:
If your own HPC resources are not sufficient, apply for access to other Nordic clusters.

Subscribe to IHPC mailing list (low volume) via that web page.
E.g. training workshop announced via this mailing list.
Next workshop planned for 2018:
Tentatively May 2018.
Intended focus on data-intensive applications (in particular machine learning), cloud computing, finite elements.
We can try to take topics mentioned in evaluation into account.
