Advanced LUMI Training, October 28-31, 2024¶
Course organisation¶
-
Location: SURF, Science Park 140, 1098 XG Amsterdam, The Netherlands
-
The public transportation is run by GVB.
-
Whatever type of ticket you have, you always need to check in and check out.
It is now perfectly possible to do so with your bank card, but of course you should use the same one to check in and check out.
If you use your bank card, you can use their app Gappie to follow up your use. The app also provides routing, and you can by regular single or multi-day tickets in it that will then work with a QR code.
-
Multi-day tickets are interesting if you take public transportation a lot. You can buy them in the Gappie app, but opening the app and scanning the QR code is a slow process compared to tapping a credit card on the reader. If all travel you need is from a hotel in the centre to the venue and back, it isn't worth it.
-
-
Amsterdam is more than canals and the red light district. You don't have to drink only water and milk and there is more food than "bitterballen" from the FEBO.
-
Dynamic schedule (adapted as the course progresses)
The dynamic schedule also contains links to pages with information about the course materials, but those links are also available below on this page.
-
During the course, there are two Slurm reservations available:
- CPU nodes:
lumic_ams - GPU nodes:
lumig_ams
They can be used in conjunction with the training project
project_465001362.Note that the reservations and course project should only be used for making the exercises during the course and not for running your own jobs. The resources allocated to the course are very limited.
- CPU nodes:
Course materials¶
Course materials include the Q&A of each session, slides when available and notes when available.
Due to copyright issues some of the materials are only available to current LUMI users and have to be downloaded from LUMI.
Note: Some links in the table below are dead and will remain so until after the end of the course.
Making the exercises after the course¶
HPE¶
The exercise material remains available in the course archive on LUMI:
-
The PDF notes in
/appl/local/training/4day-20241028/files/LUMI-4day-20241028-Exercises_HPE.pdf -
The other files for the exercises in either a bzip2-compressed tar file
/appl/local/training/4day-20241028/files/LUMI-4day-20241028-Exercises_HPE.tar.bz2or an uncompressed tar file/appl/local/training/4day-20241028/files/LUMI-4day-20241028-Exercises_HPE.tar.
To reconstruct the exercise material in your own home, project or scratch directory, all you need to do is run:
tar -xf /appl/local/training/4day-20241028/files/LUMI-4day-20241028-Exercises_HPE.tar.bz2
in the directory where you want to work on the exercises. This will create the Exercises/HPE subdirectory
from the training project.
However, instead of running the lumi_c.sh or lumi_g.sh scripts that only work for the course as
they set the course project as the active project for Slurm and also set a reservation, use the
lumi_c_after.sh and lumi_g_after.sh scripts instead, but first edit them to use one of your
projects.
AMD¶
There are online notes about the AMD exercises. A PDF print-out with less navigation features is also available and is particularly useful should the online notes become unavailable. However, some lines are incomplete. A web backup is also available, but corrections to the original made after the course are not included.
The other files for the exercises are available in
either a bzip2-compressed tar file /appl/local/training/4day-20241028/files/LUMI-4day-20241028-Exercises_AMD_.tar.bz2 or
an uncompressed tar file /appl/local/training/4day-20241028/files/LUMI-4day-20241028-Exercises_AMD.tar and can also be downloaded.
( bzip2-compressed tar download or
uncompressed tar download)
To reconstruct the exercise material in your own home, project or scratch directory, all you need to do is run:
tar -xf /appl/local/training/4day-20241028/files/LUMI-4day-20241028-Exercises_AMD.tar.bz2
in the directory where you want to work on the exercises. This will create the exercises/AMD subdirectory
from the training project. You can do so in the same directory where you installed the HPE exercises.
Warning
The software and exercises were tested thoroughly at the time of the course. LUMI however is in continuous evolution and changes to the system may break exercises and software
