Best Practices and Tools for High Performance Computing, 1
The Norwegian Research Infrastructure Services (NRIS) is offering a best practices and tools course for users of national infrastructure services. The workshop is organised as a series of monthly events during the spring semester 2025. During these monthly training, each topic will focus on different aspects related to the everyday usage of HPC/Storage facilities in order to facilitate a valuable and productive framework to develop your research.
Main content
Episode 1: 21/01/2025 (10:00-12:00 CET)- How to parallelize independence tasks on HPC
The course is open to all and free of charge, but registration is mandatory.
Targeted Audience: The course is aimed at students, researchers and employees who want to upskill their knowledge of the usage of HPC and storage facilities. This is a follow-up course to the NRIS HPC on-boarding course (although it is not a prerequisite, but we expect the participants to have basic HPC knowledge). Being familiar with basics tools used with HPC and remote computing is fundamental for this course. Familiarize yourself with the Linux command line. You can watch our past HPC onboarding training here.
Content: Sometimes you need to run many similar calculations. Instead of running them one after the other and managing many job scripts or writing elaborate shell scripts, we will learn how to run them potentially at the same time using a workflow manager without writing many job scripts. We will demonstrate and practice this using Snakemake. If your calculation is a for-loop in Python or R and it takes too long to run, this session is for you.
