Setting up for the exercises¶
During the course¶
Not relevant anymore as the course has ended.
After the termination of the course project¶
Setting up for the exercises is a bit more elaborate now.
The exercises as they were during the course are
available as the tag ai-20260611 in the GitHub repository. Whereas the repository could simply
be cloned during the course, now you have to either:
-
Download the content of the repository as a tar file or bzip2-compressed tar file or from the GitHub release where you have a choice of formats,
-
or clone the repository and then check out the tag
ai-20260611:git clone https://github.com/Lumi-supercomputer/Getting_Started_with_AI_workshop.git cd Getting_Started_with_AI_workshop git checkout ai-20260611
Note also that any reference to a reservation in Slurm has to be removed.
The exercises were thoroughly tested at the time of the course. LUMI is an evolving supercomputer though,
so it is expected that some exercises may fail over time, and modules that need to be loaded, will also
change as at every update we have to drop some versions of the LUMI module as the programming environment
is no longer functional. Likewise it is expected that at some point the ROCm driver on the system may
become incompatible with the ROCm versions used in the containers for the course.
Course materials¶
Course materials will be made available during the course.
Note: Some links in the table below will remain invalid until after the course when all materials are uploaded.
