About the Sessions
Join us for two practical sessions (August 12 and August 26) demonstrating how to accelerate scientific and technical computing on Google Cloud by integrating Gemini Code Assist and the Gemini Command Line Interface (CLI) into your development and usage workflows. This presentation is designed for developers and users who want to move beyond the basics and learn how to leverage these powerful tools for advanced computing tasks.
We will showcase how Gemini Code Assist can supercharge your IDE to generate, complete, and explain complex scientific code, while the Gemini CLI enables you to programmatically provision and manage high-performance infrastructure. Using examples and demos, you will learn best practices to automate repetitive tasks, reduce manual configuration, and ultimately build more robust and reproducible scientific pipelines, allowing you to focus on discovery, innovation, and productivity. We will show you how to access and use these tools on your own so you can be more productive and innovative right away!
