ICON User Workshop (formerly COSMO ICON User Workshop)

The ICON User Workshop takes place on 4 February 2025 as a physical meeting at the ETH Zentrum campus in the heart of Zurich.

The ICON User Workshop is a rather informal one-day event with the aim to bring together users and developers of the model, to share experiences and knowledge, and to get insights into some projects involving ICON. The program will include both talks and extended poster sessions. Talks will be limited to a few keynote presentations. The length of the talks is flexible, , with each talk lasting between 10 and 30 minutes. The authors of the posters will have the opportunity to present their work during the poster session.

Review last year's contributions for inspiration.

Please register for the workshop by sending an email to jonas.jucker(at)c2sm.ethz.ch by 18 December 2024.

New information about the Alps system available

Since the transition from Piz Daint to the new Alps infrastructure is already taking place, we have added a new navigation section Alps to collect all necessary information there.

Most importantly, C2SM users will find details about the new vClusters as well as how to use User Environments (uenvs) in order to access the software stacks.

Switching to Alps

As you probably all know the new Alps system is currently being set up at CSCS. With this machine, CSCS introduced major changes, of course in the hardware, but also in the user experience.

Piz Daint being scheduled to be decommissioned at the end of August, we are organizing a workshop to guide our users in this transition on August, 12th from 10:00 to 12:00 at ETHZ in CHN-L17.1 and over zoom at https://ethz.zoom.us/j/63402117251. The event will be recorded and the password for online participation will be sent the day before.

We will cover the following:

  • The new Alps system and its virtual clusters
  • How to operate on Alps using the so-called user environments (presentation and demo)
  • integration of uenvs in spack-c2sm with a focus on ICON (presentation and demo)
  • Q&A

Visual Update

We are pleased to announce that our website has a new design as of today! With this change, we are trying to standardise the documentation we provide to the C2SM community. Although the look has changed, you should be able to find all the necessary information as before, as the general menu structure has been maintained.
