DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Luka Leskovec (IJS)\n\nDescription: Scientific compu
 ting increasingly relies on GPU acceleration to handle large datasets and 
 complex numerical tasks. While traditional CPU-based workflows remain esse
 ntial\, modern research benefits greatly from learning how to harness GPUs
  in an accessible way through Python. CuPY provides a NumPy-like interface
  that enables users to offload array computations to the GPU with minimal 
 code changes.\nOn Day 1\, we will cover the motivation for GPU computing\,
  discuss what GPUs are best suited for\, and set up a self-contained envir
 onment. Participants will learn to use conda/mamba for environment managem
 ent\, install and configure a GPU-ready CuPY setup\, and verify its functi
 onality.  On Day 2\, we will focus on the CuPY library itself. We will ex
 plore its syntax and functionality\, emphasizing similarities and differen
 ces with NumPy. Through a series of simple examples\, and culminating in a
  more involved case study\, participants will gain the skills to confident
 ly integrate GPU acceleration into their Python workflows.\nDifficulty: Be
 ginner\nDate & Time:\nDay 1: 26. 11. 2025  from 14.00 to 17.00\nDay 2: 27
 . 11. 2025 from 14.00 to 17.00\nLanguage: English\nPrerequisite knowledge:
  Basic knowledge of Linux\, the Terminal and some Python\nTarget audience:
  The workshop is intended for beginners and others interested in using GPU
 s with python.\nVirtual location: ZOOM (only registered participants will 
 see ZOOM link)\nWorkflow: The training is live over zoom\, in the afternoo
 n. The workshop will combine lecture and practical parts\, where your own 
 laptop suffices is needed to gain access to the ARNES gpu cluster.\n \nOr
