DHXpresso

The DHXpresso is a monthly event held on the second Friday of every month at 11:00 am, allowing for an informal exchange between users from the field of Digital Humanities and the staff of NHR-Nord@Göttingen. The meetings are open to anyone, regardless of your expertise on HPC, we welcome everyone. Our aim with these events is to support our user community from the research area of Digital Humanities, in particular

• improve communication between users and DH experts,
• support networking between the users,
• help you with issues and answer your questions,
• and share our plans and get your feedback.

You can just enjoy a coffee with us. Also, if you have questions and issues, that seem too small, too big, or too complicated to put into a ticket, come join us. We will gladly

• help with usage of HPC-Systems in Digital Humanities,
• give you scripting advice,
• help you set up simple or complicated Slurm scripts,
• give hints about performance improvements,
• debug your connection troubles,
• and so on.

Each event starts with a presentation for 10-30 minutes. The topics can be about anything from interesting use cases, challenging issues, to new software features or workflow engines. Or even if you just want to show off a cool (job-)script. Hence, we invite everyone to contribute to these topics. If you want to give such a small presentation or request one about a specific topic, please let us know.

The rest of the meeting is open to discussions, problem-solving, and well, coffee. You will find a list of sessions with their discussed topics and slides in the table below. If you have any further questions, please reach out to our DH community manager Patrick Höhn.

For now, the meetings will take place on BigBlueButton. You are also invited to join our #hpc-users channel on our Matrix Server.
