SUMMARY:Introduction to Supercomputing\, part II
DESCRIPTION:Using a high-performance computing system in the most effective and efficient way is not an easy task. Therefore\, this course brings a follow-up to the first introductory Supercomputing course (part I)\, where you can take a deeper dive into the use of supercomputers with a special focus on efficiency and good practices and a very practical approach. \nSign up\n\n\n\n\nWhat will you learn in this course?\nThis course is a follow-up to the first introductory Supercomputing course\, where you can take a deeper dive into the use of supercomputers with a special focus on efficiency and good practices and a very practical approach. \nThe format of this course includes the following modules: \n\nFundamentals of performance analysis. This introductory technical presentation introduces high-performance hybrid systems\, abstractly covering the architecture and configuration of the system. Our aim is to enhance the understanding of HPC complexity before delving deeper into the importance of performance analysis models. Special attention is paid to the Roofline model.\n\nAbstract Modelling hybrid supercomputers. Presenting an abstract modelling approach for hybrid supercomputers\, condensing their complexity into three key parameters: peak performance\, memory and network bandwidth.\nPerformance analysis. Explore performance analysis\, starting with an overview of different models and going deeper into the specifics of the roofline model.\nThe roofline model. Describing the roofline model and presenting its practical application through clear explanations and demonstrations.\n\n\nFile systems. This practical session covers the proper use of file systems on HPC systems\, especially on Snellius.\nSlurm hybrid tasks. Slurm\, a widely used job scheduler for high-performance computing (HPC) systems\, has been introduced in earlier sections for a basic understanding. This module covers the specific resource allocation parameters for hybrid jobs with shared and distributed memory.\n\nNodes\, cores and tasks. This segment covers the fundamental concepts of nodes\, cores and tasks\, and highlights their role within the context of HPC systems.\nBindings. The concept of bindings is explored\, providing insight into how tasks are associated with specific resources\, improving participants’ understanding of resource allocation mechanisms.\nHands on. We will run the vector optics kernel with multiple configurations using a set of scripts.\n\n\nQCG pilot job. In some cases\, users need to run a large number of lightweight cases. However\, the nodes of supercomputers are too powerful and only allow relatively large partitions. For example\, the smallest possible allocation on Snellius is 1/4 of a node: 32 cores and 64 GB. Job concurrency is a common strategy to efficiently launch multiple lightweight jobs on such large partitions.\n\nFundamentals of job concurrency. This segment discusses the basic principles underlying job concurrency. Job concurrency is a methodological approach that allows the simultaneous execution of multiple smaller jobs within a larger allocated partition. The goal is to optimise resource utilisation and improve efficiency in scenarios where lighter tasks are executed on nodes designed for heavier workloads.\nHands-on QCG PilotJob. This hands-on session provides participants with hands-on experience of the QCG Pilotjob framework. Participants will gain practical insights into the strategies and techniques of using job concurrency to launch and manage multiple lightweight jobs within the context of bulky node partitions.\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\nParticipation in the course Introduction to Supercomputing\, Part I \nThe language of instruction is English

SUMMARY:Introduction Scientific Visualisation with Blender: Data\, Lights\, Camera\, Action!
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to make 3D visualizations that are visually more attractive than what ParaView or VisIt can provide? Do you need an image for a grant application that needs to look spectacular? Would you like to create a cool animation of your simulation data? Then this course may be for you! \nSign up\n\n\n\n\nWhat will you learn?\nThe goal of this course is to provide you with hands-on knowledge to produce great images and basic animations from 3D scientific data. We will be using the open-source package Blender (http://www.blender.org)\, which provides good basic functionality\, while also being usable for advanced usage and general editing of 3D data. It is also a lot of fun to work with (once you get used to its graphical interface). \nExample types of relevant scientific data are 3D cell-based simulations\, 3D models from photogrammetry\, (isosurfaces of) 3D medical scans\, molecular models and earth sciences data. Note that we don’t focus on information visualization of abstract data\, such as graphs (although you could convert those into a 3D model first and then use them in Blender). \nWe like to encourage participants to bring along the data they normally work with\, or a sample thereof\, and would like to apply the course knowledge to. \nFor whom?\nAnyone interesting in learning how to design attractive visualizations. We assume the context to be an academic setting\, but it is don’t make many assumptions on use cases for Blender\, and we are happy to help to how we can use Blender to make attractive visuals of the data. \nPrerequisites\nIt helps to have some familiarity with basic 3D graphics concepts (transformations\, rendering)\, but it is not mandatory. \nYou will need to have a laptop\, preferably with an acceptable GPU\, where you can install Blender during the course. \n

SUMMARY:Cluster Computing for Social Scientists with R
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn how to work with a supercomputer? And how to translate your R workflow from a graphical user interface (GUI) on your desktop to a scripting/automated workflow for a supercomputer? \nSign upWhat will you learn?\nIn this course\, you will learn the basics of supercomputing. The day starts with an introduction to supercomputer architecture\, including a hands-on session focused on running jobs on a supercomputer. \nThe second half of the programme focuses on translating your R workflow from a GUI (Rstudio) workflow on your desktop to a scripting/batch environment on the supercomputer. Topics covered here include: efficient programming\, parallel computing\, and using the SLURM job manager to send your job/analysis to the supercomputer. \nIn this course you will:\n\nDo practical exercises to learn how to effectively use the national supercomputer Snellius and how to complete your tasks with minimal effort in the shortest possible time.\nExperience how to achieve high performance with R by using the supercomputing facilities at SURF\n\nPrerequisites:\n\nBasic knowledge of Linux (Unix shell) is useful\nBasic knowledge of R is useful\n\nYou must have:\nA personal laptop with an up-to-date browser and a terminal emulator (Putty is perfectly fine for users of the OSSC/CBS RA environment). Using the operating systems Linux and macOS is preferred but not mandatory. For Windows users\, we recommend downloading MobaXterm (portable version) as a terminal emulator. If you are limited in your choice\, Putty also works. \nThe language of instruction is English.

SUMMARY:Introduction Data Management\, Research Drive and Yoda
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hands-on workshop designed to equip you with essential skills for managing your research data effectively. You’ll learn how to ensure your data is FAIR (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, and Reusable) by using powerful tools like Research Drive and Yoda. \nSign up\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Research Drive and Yoda platforms will help you streamline data sharing\, storage\, and collaboration throughout your research process. \nNowadays\, this is a complicated task because of the heterogeneity of information and the requirements to share certain data with specific groups of people. After this training\, you will be a lot more agile in managing your data! \nFor whom\nAnyone who wants to learn to store research data in an efficient and scalable way.
