AI Code Assistance for HPC on Palmetto
This is a hands-on workshop for Clemson researchers who want to safely and effectively use AI coding tools on the Palmetto cluster. Through short demos and guided labs, participants will learn how to choose the right assistant mode (IDE, CLI, web, or on-prem), draft and verify Slurm jobs and environments, debug job failures, and more. The workshop emphasizes Palmetto-specific practices, data privacy, and reproducibility, equipping attendees with practical workflows they can immediately apply in their research computing projects.
