Training & Education

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

We want our users to be able to optimally use our HPC systems. Therefore, the MPCDF provides training and educational events  for the MPG and its partners. From the basic introduction of how to use our systems to focused advanced workshops and lectures, we give our users the means to master their work on our systems.

The Introductory User Tutorial is designed to familiarize you with MPCDF's compute and data services. In the first part, we provide an overview of MPCDF's mission and highlight its key services, along with a step-by-step guide on how to obtain a user account. Moving on, the second talk delves into MPCDF's supercomputers, covering their hardware specifications, software environment, filesystems, and file transfer and archiving workflows. The final part offers a comprehensive introduction to using the Slurm batch system, demonstrating its functionalities through practical examples and job scripts drawn from MPCDF's supercomputers. Throughout the talks, feel free to ask questions via chat. Plus, we offer a dedicated Q&A session afterwards. This tutorial aims to simplify the initial experience for newcomers to MPCDF's services. We conduct it twice a year, typically in spring and autumn, and past presentation slides are available for reference. [more]
