Supercomputing with LUMI - Amsterdam, May 2-3, 2024

Course organisation

Setting up for the exercises

If you have an active project on LUMI, you should be able to make the exercises in that project. You will only need an very minimum of CPU and GPU billing units for this.

  • Create a directory in the scratch of your project, or if you want to keep the exercises around for a while, in a subdirectory of your project directory or in your home directory (though we don't recommend the latter). Then go into that directory.

    E.g., in the scratch directory of your project:

    mkdir -p /scratch/project_465001102/$USER/exercises
cd /scratch/project_465001102/$USER/exercises

    where you have to replace project_465001102 using the number of your own project.

  • Now download the exercises and un-tar:

    wget https://462000265.lumidata.eu/2day-20240502/files/exercises-20240502.tar.gz
tar -xf exercises-20240502.tar.gz

    Link to the tar-file with the exercises

  • You're all set to go!

Though a LUST course, the course borrows a lot of material from a similar course prepared by the Belgian local organisation, which in turn was prepared in the framework of the VSC Tier-0 support activities. The VSC is funded by FWO - Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - Vlaanderen (or Research Foundation – Flanders).
