Introduction to HPC2N and Kebnekaise

Introduction to HPC2N and Kebnekaise, 2016-11-08

Introduction to HPC2N's systems with a focus on the new Kebnekaise cluster. We begin with a walkthrough of the system, including the GPUs.

After lunch, 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.

For those who are interested, there will be a guided tour of the machine rooms.

Download slides from the course:

• The module system, Compiler tool chains, and an example [PDF]
• File Systems, the Batch System, and examples [PDF]

Some examples we will use for the course will be found in ~bbrydsoe/pfs/kebnekaise-intro can be downloaded as a gzipped tar-file here.

THIS IS AN OLD COURSE AND EXAMPLE JOB SCRIPTS ARE NO LONGER VALID. THUS, THE MATERIAL IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!

Please see the course website for newer courses which may have updated material linked.
