Course: Using Python in an HPC environment

This online course, taking place on 15 May 2024, 09:00-17:00, aims to give a brief, but comprehensive introduction to using Python in an HPC environment. You will learn how to use modules to load Python, how to find site installed Python packages, as well as how to install packages yourself. In addition, you will learn how to use virtual environments, write a batch script for running Python, use Python in parallel, and how to use Python for ML and on GPUs. 

The eSSENCE call for proposals in Lund in the autumn of 2024 resulted in seven projects (out of 47 proposals) formally starting 1 January 2024. There will be an opportunity to learn more about these new projects in a series of three sessions held online over Zoom. After the talks, there will be a chance to chat with the speakers and other participants.

Below is the schedule for the three sessions with registration links. Note that the first session is already next week, on Tuesday 6 February.

Tuesday 6 February, 10.15-11.30

Introduction to running R, Python, and Julia in HPC

Learn how to run R, Python, 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.

HPC2N was one of four local research infrastructures with the potential to become infrastructures of national interest, which was granted funding from Umeå University.

Due to an unexpected cooling failure around 00:30 on 2023-12-04 Kebnekaise is currently down.

We are currently investigating why this happened and will bring Kebnekaise back online once we have established the cause.

*UPDATE 20231204 11:14*

Kebnekaise is now up again.

Course: Introduction to Kebnekaise, 2024-01-18

In this course we will cover the following topics:
