Isambard-AI workshop at RSECon25¶
The Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS) is running an introductory workshop on Isambard-AI at RSECon25 on Tuesday, 9th September.
In order to take part in the workshop and gain access to the system, you must pre-register using your institution email address by filling in the following form by Wednesday, 3rd September:
You must also be a registered attendee of the RSECon25 conference.
Warning
After registering for the workshop, a few days prior to the workshop you will receive an invitation email inviting you to the RSECon25 project.
Please wait until you receive your invitation email before following the required pre-workshop steps below.
Required pre-workshop steps¶
You will receive an email from [email protected] with the subject "Invitation to the RSECon25 workshop project".
After registration and receiving the invite, you will be contacted with some steps to do before the workshop. You should follow steps 1-4 after you receive an invitation email.
If you have an account with a research institute supported by MyAccessID (you can check this at https://mms.myaccessid.org/fed-apps/profile/) then you should use this option. When logging in to any Isambard services, you should always chose "University Login (MyAccessID)". If not, check the "Non-research affiliation" tab.
If your institution or company does not support EduGAIN/MyAccessID as a federated login solution, we will have to create you an account in our "identity provider of last resort" (hosted in AWS).
You will receive an email from [email protected] with the subject "Invitation to join AWS IAM Identity Center" asking you finalise creating an account, using the same email address that you signed up for the workshop.
Once that account is set up and working, from now on when working with Isambard you should always select the "Other Login (IdP of last resort)" option on the login screen.
Warning
You must complete the required pre-workshop steps and set your UNIX username in advance of the workshop.
Access will not be allowed for online attendees. You must attend the workshop in person and will be required to sign-in at the start of the session.
This workshop has been allocated a finite amount of compute time to be shared between all participants. Users must not run long-running or large-scale jobs either before or during the session.
Workshop Material¶
The material we will go through is a tutorial on running a chatbot interactively on Isambard-AI.
For attendees who have previously ran our chatbot tutorial, we encourage you to use the workshop as an opportunity to further explore Isambard-AI using the guides found on our documentation site.
