Introduction to the notes

These notes and training materials were prepared in the framework of the VSC Tier-0 support activities.

The notes, and all other materials used for the course, borrow a lot from the course material made available by the LUMI User Support Team. Their course materials are avialable on the LUMI training materias web site. However, this version of the notes is not official LUMI material but material from the VSC Tier-0 support team, and contains enhancements that may not occur in any version of the official LUMI training materials.

Various training materials and the documentation from the Walloon HPC project CÉCI were also a great source of inspiration.

This course is offered to the LUMI-BE organisation.
