Course: Introduction to Kebnekaise, 22 January 2025

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

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.

Eligibility: since Kebnekaise is no longer a NAISS cluster, this course in only available to local users. This is defined as users who are current or future members of projects with a PI affiliated with HPC2N's partner sites (UmU, SLU, LTU, MIUN, IRF). Participation is free.

Time and date: 22 January 2025, 09:00 - 17:00
