DESCRIPTION:Description: Scientific computing increasingly relies on GPU a
 cceleration to handle large datasets and complex numerical tasks. While tr
 aditional CPU-based workflows remain essential\, modern research benefits 
 greatly from learning how to harness GPUs in an accessible way through Pyt
 hon. CuPY provides a NumPy-like interface that enables users to offload ar
 ray computations to the GPU with minimal code changes.\nOn Day 1\, we will
  cover the motivation for GPU computing\, discuss what GPUs are best suite
 d for\, and set up a self-contained environment. Participants will learn t
 o use conda/mamba for environment management\, install and configure a GPU
 -ready CuPY setup\, and verify its functionality.  \nOn Day 2\, we will f
 ocus on the CuPY library itself. We will explore its syntax and functional
 ity\, emphasizing similarities and differences with NumPy. Through a serie
 s of simple examples\, and culminating in a more involved case study\, par
 ticipants will gain the skills to confidently integrate GPU acceleration i
 nto their Python workflows.\nDifficulty: Beginner\nDate & Time:\nDay 1: 19
 . 03. 2026  from 13.00 to 16.00\nDay 2: 20. 03. 2026 from 13.00 to 16.00\
 nLanguage: English\nPrerequisite knowledge: Basic knowledge of Linux\, the
  Terminal and some Python\nTarget audience: The workshop is intended for b
 eginners and others interested in using GPUs with python.\nVirtual locatio
 n: ZOOM (only registered participants will see ZOOM link)\nWorkflow: The t
 raining is live over zoom\, in the afternoon. The workshop will combine le
 cture and practical parts\, where your own laptop suffices is needed to ga
 in access to the ARNES gpu cluster.Skills to be gained:\n\nhow to setup py
