    How to install high-performant software on a High Performance Cluster?

    Software installation on a High Performance Cluster (HPC) is different from the usual software installation on a desktop 
    computer.In order to get the best performance out of the very expensive hardware, it is best to compile software from source, 
    rather than using pre-compiled binaries. This sounds often easier than it actually is. One good example is Basic Linear Algebra 
    Subprograms (BLAS) [1]: A generic installation will only deliver a very low performance. Optimising the compile process will 
    deliver more performance. However, with the sheer amount of different CPUs around, testing it for each new build with a new 
    compiler is time consuming.

    The solution here is to fall back what others have done, improve on it if possible and contribute back to the community.

    One such an example is EasyBuild [2]: software which is installing high-performant scientific software on HPC clusters 
    automatically.

    The talk will take you through an often a bit personally journey of scientific software installation, without too much of technical 
    jargon. It is aimed for scientists who are installing software, or write their own code. Equally, researchers who are more 
    experienced in software installation might learn something new as well.

Hi @yidilozdemir thanks for contributing!

Apologies the issue submission still have some minor hitches, the test build for the site has failed because event_url needs to just be the URL without brackets. If you edit your yaml here I can remove-re-add the label to retrigger the workflow.

Apologies I will adjust the instructions.

[yidilozdemir]

Thank you for the explanation and catch! I updated in the original issue yaml. Hope that works?
