PWTK-2024: An Online Tutorial

Date: 20 – 24 May 2024
Time: 14:00 – 16:00 CEST
Tutorial's virtual machine: click here
Tutorial's hands-on material: click here

The aim of the online PWTK-2024 tutorial is to teach participants how to use the PWTK scripting environment to effectively automate their Quantum ESPRESSO calculations by employing built-in workflows or creating their own. The tutorial will cover topics ranging from basic to more advanced scripting.

The tutorial consists of one hands-on session per day. Participants will use their laptops/desktops and will be given access to an HPC supercomputer to learn how to use PWTK on HPC machines.

Participants should have at least a basic knowledge of how to use Quantum ESPRESSO. Interested participants lacking Quantum ESPRESSO know-how can attempt to follow the first part of the online QE-2021 school before the PWTK-2024 tutorial.
