Courses

We regularly organize HPC cluster courses in collaboration with the RUG CIT. Courses are not scheduled in fixed intervals, but based on demand: send us an email if you are interested in the next edition.

HPC beginners courses

• Half day course usually scheduled in the afternoon 13:00 - 17:00.
• Target Audience: Anyone who needs more computing power than their personal laptop can provide.
• Course is free of charge, but registration is required as seats are limited and accounts need to be arranged in time.

The UMCG HPC beginners course will cover:

• Linux basics
• Compute clusters
• Using the SLURM job scheduler
• Differences between the Peregrine cluster (RUG research), the Calculon cluster (UMCG/LifeLines Research) and the Zinc-Finger & Leucine-Zipper clusters (Genome Diagnostics).
• Best practices on the Calculon, Zinc-Finger and Leucine-Zipper clusters.

This course is similar to the ​RUG HPC beginners course from the ​RUG ​Center for Information Technology except that:

• it will cover the details of the Calculon, Zinc-Finger and Leucine-Zipper clusters and that
• it will be hosted on site @ the UMCG.

Course material (slides + exercises) is available on the ​Peregrine Wiki
