In this workshop, participants will learn how to launch the most common types of calculations  (e.g. scf, phonons, quasi-particle energies, time-dependent properties) using QE, Yambo and BigDFT, how to prepare input files and how to read output files in order to extract the desired properties. 

Best practices for efficient exploitation of HPC resources will be discussed, with particular emphasis on how to use the different schemes of data distribution (e.g. plane waves, pools, images) in combination with the different parallelization and acceleration schemes (MPI, OpenMP, GPU-offload) available in QE.
