1st ESD Hackathon - Agenda

Tuesday, 26 November 2024
09:00‑17:00
(480 min)		Satellite event: Hands-on SpiNNaker (morning) and BrainScaleS (afternoon)

ESD Hackathon

Main topic

The aim of the EBRAINS Software Distribution (ESD, https://ebrains.eu/esd) is to integrate EBRAINS tools and workflows in order to create a unified software ecosystem that facilitates the use, development, and deployment of scientific software for reproducible and scalable environments. The ESD has been designed for use in interactive and high-performance computing applications, and will soon facilitate service deployments. A container-packaged version will enable end users to leverage the EBRAINS ecosystem on their laptops, workstations, or their HPC system of choice.

This 3-day event is a unique opportunity for developers, researchers, and enthusiasts to collaborate on extending and improving the EBRAINS Software Distribution.

Airports

  • Nearest airport: Frankfurt international airport (FRA)
    • Train Station in the airport itself: Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbahnhof (use bahn.de/en for time table information)
    • About an hour by car. Info: we often used the TLS shuttle service in the past. A shuttle for up to 7 people costs around 145 Euro single trip. This shuttle needs to be booked in advance.
  • also relatively close: Stuttgart airport (STR)
