Introduction to running R, Python, and Julia in HPC
Learn how to run R, Python, and Julia at Swedish HPC centres. We will show you how to find and load the needed modules, how to write a batch script, as well as how to install and use your own packages, and more.
The course will consist of lectures interspersed with hands-on sessions where you get to try out what you have just learned.
We will mainly use UPPMAX for the examples for the course, but there is little difference in how you use the various HPC centres in Sweden and you should have no problems applying the knowledge to the other systems.
This course will consist of three half-days (9:00-15:00), one for each language. It is a cooperation between HPC2N and UPPMAX.
NOTE: the course will NOT cover the topic of improving your programming skills in R, Python, or Julia. Likewise, we will not cover advanced techniques for code optimization.
Remote/online participation: The course will be completely online and we will use Zoom. More information about connecting and such will be sent to the participants close to the course.
Prerequisites: some familiarity with the LINUX command line (recordings from our Linux intro here), basic R, Python, or Julia, depending on which language(s) you are interested in. See below for links to useful material if you need a refresher before the course.
Time and Dates: 12-14 March 2024, three days, one for each language. 9:00 - 15:00 each day. The last hour each day will be used for extra time for exercises.
Location: ONLINE. Zoom link will be sent to participants a few days before the course.
Deadline for registration: 4 March 2024
Participation in the course is free.
