NRIS Training is organizing a third round of Distributed LLM Fine-Tuning & Inference on HPC systems, this time in Bergen.
This is a two-day, in-person course where you will get practical, hands-on experience with single-GPU fine-tuning, multi-GPU scaling on single- and multi-node setups, and optimized LLM inference on a high-performance computing (HPC) system. Attend this course to build applied skills in optimizing large language models in HPC environments.
Start: Nov 18 2026 00:00
End: Nov 19 2026 23:59
Target audience & prerequisites
This course is ideal for researchers, developers, and students with Python experience who want hands-on skills in scalable LLM training and inference on an HPC system. To attend the course it is recommended to have some familiarity with the following:
- Machine learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch)
- HPC setup (SSH, Slurm, Linux commands)
- Basic understanding of large language models (LLMs)
Practical information
The course is free of charge and lunch/coffee will be served. The course has a limited capacity of 25 participants. To follow the course, bring a laptop with wifi-connectivity, and follow the steps in the registration form for access to Olivia.
