HPC2N
High Performance Computing Center North
Dates: 20-21 May and 27-28 May 2026
Times: The course will start at 09:00 and finish at 12:30 each day.
Location: ONLINE
This online course is given under NAISS and is at the beginners level and assumes no prior experience in parallel computing. The concepts behind message passing and distributed memory computing will be introduced and the syntax of the key MPI calls will be explained.
This online 4-day workshop aims to give a brief, but comprehensive introduction to using Python in a Swedish academic High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment. It covers a wide range of levels in using Python and you can decide which days to follow.
If you are a complete beginner, perhaps the first day(s) is sufficient for you, but you may follow the other days as well for inspiration. If you already are a Python programmer you could still benefit from attending the login session the first day.
This iś an ONLINE course.
We begin with an introduction to HPC and HPC2N, before going on to a walk-through of the Kebnekaise system, including the newest hardware.
After that, we go through the module system and take a 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. We will look at how to use both the different types of CPUs, and the different types of GPUs.
NOTE If you need a refresher on using Linux (the operating system used on Kebnekaise and most other HPC centres), then we recommend the 3-hour course on "Linux Command Line 101" that was given on 20 October 2025 and which will be given again during sping 2026.

In this 6-hour, 2-day ONLINE workshop you will learn how to work smarter from a command line. You can follow either day or both.
Doing so, you will learn more Bash commands, scripting and some quality of life topics.
