Workshop on Basic Computing Services in the Physics Department - subMIT

→ America/New_York
26-414 (Kolker room)

26-414 (Kolker room)
Description

The subMIT computing facility is a login pool that is designed to provide access to the basic research computing resources of the physics department and beyond.

This one day workshop will provide an overview and updates on the status and plans for the system and project, as well as topical presentations on a range of use cases.

Additionally, there will be tutorial sessions.  Bring your laptop to run the examples in real-time or just sit back and listen to the accompanying instructional talk.

More information on the subMIT project as well as user documentation is available at https://submit.mit.edu

The workshop will take place in the Kolker Room (26-414) and a Zoom connection will be available at https://mit.zoom.us/j/96743699673?pwd=b3h2Q3c3cVQwYW12blhMUG5SWXZCZz09

Refreshments will be provided during coffee breaks!

      Tutorial: Batch Job / Workflow Management: SLURM & HTCondor 26-414 (Kolker room)

      26-414 (Kolker room)

      This session will show how to use the batch schedulers/resource-managers SLURM & HTCondor to manage your computational tasks, distributing them across the shared resources. Depending on your workflow, this may provide an easy way to run your calculations in parallel, shortening time-to-result and eliminating some manual tasks.
