As an HPC admin and AI facilitator, I’ve organized several workshops and technical training sessions for HPC users. Here’s a roadmap of what to do <em>before</em>, <em>during</em>, and <em>after</em> a workshop, along with tips and tricks to make life easier for both you and the attendees. These are my personal views.</p> <hr> <p><strong>From ML Engineer to HPC Admin</strong><br> After working as a machine learning engineer in various companies over a decade, I decided to switch my career to high-performance computing (HPC) and supercomputing centers. Upon completing my PhD, I reflected on my background and realized that the role of an HPC admin and AI facilitator fit perfectly with my skill set. I had also spent years in academia, teaching multiple courses, preparing quizzes and assignments, and mentoring over 100 graduate students in programming, problem-solving, data science, machine learning, and AI. These experiences motivated me to pursue this path.</p>
