    • compilation of users' software
    • usage of users' own modules
  • Working with queuing systems
    • batch scripts
      • sequential, parallel and distributed computations
        • srun
        • OpenMP
        • MPI
        • hybrid OpenMP + MPI
      • jobs with GPGPUs
      • array jobs
      • jobs' dependencies
      • usage of additional node features
    • interactive jobs
      • attaching terminal session to running jobs
  • efficient usage of the SLURM queuing system
    • job monitoring
  • efficient usage of HPC filesystems
  • Python environments management 
  • HPC containers
  • Working with big datasets
  • Documentation and user support
  • Ares and Athena as an integral part of PLGrid Infrastructure

Duration

5 hours

Requirements

Each user should have a PLGrid account, active affiliation and access to the Ares cluster. Accounts and access to supercomputers could be obtained in Portal PLGrid. If somebody has no active affiliation, please contact organisers at training@cyfronet.pl.

That is more advanced training for people familiar with basic usage of HPC resources. Basic training for people who want to start using HPC resources at ACC Cyfronet AGH is Introduction to Scientific High-Performance Computing.

Venue

Training will be conducted via Zoom through the link provided for registered participants.

Language

English/Polish - dependent on the participants.

Level

intermediate
