[QE-users] AiiDA Hackathon: developing code plugins and robust scientific workflows @ Cineca, Bologna, Italy

[Nicola Marzari]

Dear all,


this to call your attention to an upcoming MaX event:

AiiDA Hackathon: developing code plugins and robust scientific workflows 
@ Cineca, Bologna, Italy

The hackathon will take place from February 17 (after lunchtime) to 21
(until lunchtime) at Cineca: Via Magnanelli, 6/3, 40033 Casalecchio di
Reno, Italy. Participating AiiDA plugin developers will be shown best
practices and useful tips on:

   * code development practices (automated testing, continuous
     integration, code style checks, packaging, distribution)
   * writing reusable, robust and modular workflows
   * taking full advantage of the AiiDA v1.0 API

In addition, during the event we will discuss and define common APIs for
workflows for the computation of materials' properties.
When adopted by plugin developers, these common APIs enable AiiDA users
to compute a material's property using different codes without the need
to know the interface of each plugin in detail.

*Target audience*
Computational scientists that already actively or plan to
develop/maintain one or more AiiDA plugins (registered on the AiiDA
plugin registry), in order to automate calculations with AiiDA.

*Prerequisites*
Being experienced with using AiiDA in general and familiar with
developing calculation plugins and workflows

*Registration*
