HPC2N is offering several instances of our "Online fika" and our "intro seminars" in the spring of 2025.

HPC2N coffee chats

These informal coffee-chats, "HPC2N fika", are meant for HPC2N’s current and potential users.  

It is a chance for you to discuss any HPC-related problems associated with your research and to get advice from HPC2N’s application experts and other staff.  As usual, we start with a few updates about what is new at HPC2N. After that the floor is open. 

These "HPC2N fikas” will in the spring of 2025 be on

Introduction to running R, Matlab, and Julia in HPC

Learn how to run R, Matlab, and Julia at Swedish HPC centres. We will show you how to find and load the needed modules, how to write a batch script, as well as how to install and use your own packages, and more.
The course will consist of lectures interspersed with hands-on sessions where you get to try out what you have just learned.

Introduction to Kebnekaise

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 "Introduction to Linux" that is given the day before this course. More information and registration here: https://www.hpc2n.umu.se/events/courses/2025/spring/linux-intro

Introduction to Linux

This 3-hour ONLINE course is an introduction to the Linux operating system (OS) that is used on most Swedish compute clusters, and is the most common OS in HPC clusters all over the planet. The course will consist of lectures, code-alongs, and interspersed exercises.

This NAISS course is meant for beginners to the Linux operating system.

Eligibility: the NAISS course is open to current and future users in Swedish academia. Participation is free.

Time and date: 21 January 2025, 09:00-12:00

Course: Using Python in an HPC environment, 5-6 December 2024

This two-days online course, taking place on 5-6 December 2024, 09:00-17:00 each day, aims to give a brief, but comprehensive introduction to using Python in an HPC environment.

Course: Introduction to Git, 25-29 November 2024

The course will be an introduction to version control, with a strong focus on Git.

Some of the main concepts, like repositories, commits, trees, branches, and merges will be covered, as will many of the basic commands, like clone, add, push, pull, commit, and fork. We will also go one step beyond the basic concepts and explain the fundamentals of how commits and branches can be manually created by using so-called "plumbing" (low-level) subcommands.

Course: Introduction to running R, Python, Julia, and Matlab in HPC

Learn how to run R, Python, Julia, and Matlab at Swedish HPC centres. We will show you how to find and load the needed modules, how to write a batch script, as well as how to install and use your own packages, and more.
The course will consist of lectures interspersed with hands-on sessions where you get to try out what you have just learned.

Course: An introduction to shared memory parallel programming using OpenMP, 25 - 27 September 2024

OpenMP provides an efficient method to write parallel programs in C, C++ and Fortran.  OpenMP programs are suitable for execution on shared memory architectures such as modern multi core systems or a single compute node of the HPC clusters deployed by LUNARC, HPC2N and within NAISS.
