Course overview
This whole day course will begin with a short (optional) introduction to Linux. We then continue with an introduction to HPC and HPC2N, followed by a walkthrough of the Kebnekaise system, including the GPUs and KNLs. In the afternoon we go through the module system and take a brief look at how to submit jobs. During the hands-on you will get the opportunity to try loading modules, compile a program, and submit a job to the Kebnekaise cluster. For those who are interested, there will be a guided tour of the machine rooms (only if the course does not become online-only).
Remote/online participation: The course will be streamed. We will use Zoom. The participants who have expressed a wish to participate remotely will receive an email the day before the course, containing the connection info.
NOTE: depending on the developing situation with COVID-19, the course may become completely online. If that happens, participants will be given information about any changes to the course as well as how to connect, using Zoom.
Participation is open to all existing and prospective users of HPC from Swedish institutions.
