general description, a little info on UNIX-part and the HPC and NIRD course
Line 1: Line 1:
A 2 day introductory course into local and National HPC. For the each day the first half of the day will be materials and the second half will be hands-on where you can bring your own particular case.
In the fall 2020, the ''Scientific Computing'' group at the IT department (UiB) is offering a basic hands-on course for current and future users of national HPC systems (Saga, Fram, Betzy) and the NIRD Toolkit. The course is aimed at those with no or little experience on these systems. For those who have never worked on the command line of a terminal or little experience with UNIX-like operating systems such as Linux, we will offer an optional hands-on pre-course about UNIX a week before the HPC & NIRD Toolkit lectures.


'''Dates''': 25 and 26 January 2018.<br>
On each course day, we will start at 09:00 and conclude at 12:30. Each morning will include presentations and hands-on time on one of the actual HPC systems or the NIRD Toolkit. We recommend that participants use the afternoon on each day to repeat examples from the morning to get more experience on the systems.
'''Time''': 09:00-16:00 with the lunch break 12:00-13:00.


=Registration=
Participants '''require''' access to a computer (not provided by the course organisers) with Internet connectivity and pre-installed programs to participate in the video meeting of the course (zoom, might work from a browser), to access the HPC systems (ssh or Putty) or the NIRD Toolkit (web browser).
Course is free of charge and is organised by the "Scientific Computing" group at UiB IT department.


Registration https://skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=4403192<br>
Registrations will close a few days before the course dates, but we ask participants to register as soon as possible such that we can arrange access to one of the HPC systems or the NIRD Toolkit well in advance (arranging access during the course won't be very practical as we need to focus on the course itself).
Registration ends on January 18th. Number of seats is limited.

==Day 1 - New Hexagon - 25.01.2018==
Participants may choose the lectures which they are interested in.
The first day is dedicated to information about updated Hexagon.
If there will be enough interested we can offer also a 1 hour session into SAFE https://it.uib.no/SAFE.<br>
The following topics will be covered during day1:
* Access to the resource
* Concepts
* SLURM and HPC jobs
* Migrating from PBS to SLURM workshop
The second half of the day we are planning to have a live workshop where you can bring your old Hexagon scripts and we will help you to adjust them to new Hexagon. This will be also the right time to get help in writing job scripts and other things you are wondering about to get started using Hexagon.

Revision as of 10:57, 29 September 2020

In the fall 2020, the Scientific Computing group at the IT department (UiB) is offering a basic hands-on course for current and future users of national HPC systems (Saga, Fram, Betzy) and the NIRD Toolkit. The course is aimed at those with no or little experience on these systems. For those who have never worked on the command line of a terminal or little experience with UNIX-like operating systems such as Linux, we will offer an optional hands-on pre-course about UNIX a week before the HPC & NIRD Toolkit lectures.

On each course day, we will start at 09:00 and conclude at 12:30. Each morning will include presentations and hands-on time on one of the actual HPC systems or the NIRD Toolkit. We recommend that participants use the afternoon on each day to repeat examples from the morning to get more experience on the systems.

Participants require access to a computer (not provided by the course organisers) with Internet connectivity and pre-installed programs to participate in the video meeting of the course (zoom, might work from a browser), to access the HPC systems (ssh or Putty) or the NIRD Toolkit (web browser).

Registrations will close a few days before the course dates, but we ask participants to register as soon as possible such that we can arrange access to one of the HPC systems or the NIRD Toolkit well in advance (arranging access during the course won't be very practical as we need to focus on the course itself).

The courses are free of charge.
