<p>Dear HPC users of LRZ,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In addition to supporting traditional HPC applications, the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) is offering systems and services to address the increasing demand of data analytics, big data and machine learning workflows. In a series of trainings, we will
 provide introductory courses for researchers and students who want to utilize LRZ resources for tasks of this nature.<o:p></o:p></p>
