We are offering the following course at HPC2N, Umeå University:

Introduction to HPC2N

The course is an introduction to HPC2N's systems, with a focus on the new Kebnekaise cluster. 

The part about Linux (9:00-11:00) can be omitted by those already proficient with this operating system.

At 11:00 we begin with a walkthrough of the systems (Abisko and Kebnekaise), including the GPUs and KNLs on Kebnekaise.

After lunch, we go through the module system and take a brief look at how to submit jobs.

Computational Chemistry - MD Simulations (CHARMM)

This one day course is an introduction to Computational Chemistry and MD Simulations, with half of the time dedicated to running CHARMM at HPC2N.
There will be a hands-on.

Topics:

THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL OCTOBER. THOSE ALREADY SIGNED UP WILL BE CONTACTED BY SCHRÖDINGER

Schrödinger will be conducting the "Molecular Modelling with Schrödinger Software" workshop on Wednesday, March 29, 2017, at HPC2N, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden.

Hands-ons will take up about half the time, both before and after lunch. Bring your laptop!

The workshop is free of charge, and you register on Schrödinger's event page.

Tea/coffee and lunch will be served.

Performance Tools Course

This course is aiming to help the participants analyze and optimize their codes through the use of Scalasca, Extrae, and Paraver.

Participation is free. Lunch and coffee/tea will be provided.

Please bring a laptop, and make sure you have an account at HPC2N if you want to participate in the hands-on part of the Scalasca training.

Time and date: 14. March 2017, 09:00 - 16:00.

We are offering a course on introduction to the HPC2N's systems with a focus on the new Kebnekaise cluster. It is a repeat of the course held in the fall, with the exception of an optional part about Linux.

We go through both systems, Abisko and Kebnekaise, including the GPUs. After lunch, we go through the module system and take a brief look at how to submit jobs.

HPC2N is offering an introduction in OpenMP and MPI. The purpose of this course is to give a short overview of the most important aspects of OpenMP, v. 2.5 and of MPI. The first half of the day (9:00-12:00) will be focused on OpenMP and the second half of the day (13:00-16:30) on MPI.

If you are only interested in either OpenMP or MPI, it is possible to just attend the relevant part of the course.

There will be a short hands-on after each part of the course, where the participants get to compile and run a small OpenMP or MPI program.

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.

Time and date: 8. November 2016, 11:00 - 17:00.

This hands-on workshop will provide attendees a walkthrough of parallel computing with MATLAB, using the Parallel Computing Toolbox (PCT).
Attendees will learn to use parfor, spmd, and distributed array constructs.  Additionally, the MATLAB Distributed Computing Server (MDCS) will be described, allowing users to offload their computationally intensive MATLAB algorithms and scale parallel jobs to multi-node SNIC HPC resources.

Room MC323, 9:00 - 12:00, 10th October 2016
