2021-09-16 Advanced HPC Topics (09:00-12:30)

How to efficiently run large tasks on HPC systems.

Reiter

Advanced HPC introduction topics

Large computing clusters for scientific and engineering calculations are almost all based on Linux servers and batch submission software. In this course a deeper understanding of the present system UBELIX is provided for an efficient usage.

Learning outcomes - participants can
  • build custom software
  • understand different types of computing jobs, including: serial, parallel, interactive, array jobs
  • utilize tools for monitoring jobs
  • programming tricks, including, signal handling, checkpointing
Target group
  • UNIBE staff, students and potential users involved in scientific research or engineering
  • Researchers and engineers wishing to learn how to use a Linux HPC system
  • Prospective or current users of any Linux computing facility
Prerequisites
  • Participants must bring own laptops and should have a minimal Linux knowledge (see training Introduction to Linux) and experience with HPC systems (see High Performance Computing training).
  • Activated UBELIX account (campus account needed): https://hpc-unibe-ch.github.io/getting-Started/account.html
Methods
  • The training alternates between short theoretical introductions and online practice.
Certificate
  • A certificate will be delivered to participants who have attended the whole training.
Coaches
  • The coaches are experts of the HPC support team.
Time : 2021-09-16 09:00 - 12:30
Location : Room B 102, VonRoll Fabrikstrasse 8, University of Bern. The course will be transmitted online in any case, but we have also reserved a room at the university for on-site attendance (see "Practical information" on Ilias). The university's corona policy requires that courses and events that are not bachelor's or master's programs require participants to have a Covid certificate. This means for this course, if you want to come on site, you must have a certificate that you are tested, recovered or vaccinated. So we are happy if you comply if you like to come on site.

The Science IT Support is there to boost your research by supporting you solving computing challenges. 
Your code doesn't compile, you need more computing power, more storage, a data mangament plan and
so on - drop an email, call or pass by our office. Cheers, Sigve
