This tutorial provides participants with the essential skills necessary to design and implement High-Performance Computing (HPC) compliant data analysis workflows using the Snakemake workflow management system. Through hands-on exercises and practical demonstrations, attendees will learn how to harness the power of this workflow manager to utilize HPC resources effectively and ensure reproducibility in their data analysis workflows. The Snakemake workflow system is widely used in bioinformatics, experimental physics and other data analysis fields.
When and where is the workshop held?
The workshop is held in-person (no online participation possible) at the University IT and Data Center (Hochschulrechenzentrum HRZ), Wegelerstr. 6, Campus Poppelsdorf at Uni Bonn. We will use the ground floor computer pool (Room No. 0.012).
It takes place from 9:00 to 18:00, on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 28-29, 2025
You need to register to participate.
Who can register, and how?
The workshop is open to both Uni Bonn members (employees and students) and interested guests from other organizations. However, if there are too many registrations, Uni Bonn members have priority.
When you register, you will be put on a waiting list. You will be notified by October 10th whether you were accepted.
