      At the workshop, we will get acquainted with the structure and software of computational clusters and start our first business. We will learn to distinguish between login nodes, master nodes, computation nodes, and data storage nodes. We will learn about the role of the operating system, Slurm middleware, environmental modules, containers and user applications. We will connect to login nodes, transfer files to and from the supercomputer, run transactions and monitor their implementation.

      The course of events

      The workshop will take place in two afternoons. In the first meeting, we will get to know the hardware and software and in the second, we will use the supercomputer for video processing.

      Participants

      The workshop is designed for researchers, engineers, students, and others who have realized that you need more computing resources than conventional computers can offer you.

      Acquired knowledge

      After the workshop you will:
      • understand how a supercomputer works,
      • know the main elements and their functions,
      • know the Slurm middleware,
      • understand environmental modules and containers,
      • know how to work with files and do business,
      • prepare execution scripts and
      • process videos.
