Sciware: An Extended Introduction to the Flatiron Clusters

Thursday Apr 25, 2024, 2:00 PM → 4:00 PM America/New_York

7th Floor Classroom/7-Flatiron Institute (162 5th Avenue)

In this SCC-hosted Sciware, we will introduce cluster terminology and describe the two Flatiron clusters, popeye and rusty. In the interactive session, we will learn to make use of the software and hardware resources available by setting up a Python environment and running a Python script on the cluster by submitting jobs using slurm. In addition, we will demonstrate how to use mpi4py and disBatch to run distributed Python tasks.  This workshop is a pilot session for potential future cluster onboarding and your participation and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

In order to fully participate, a cluster account and a laptop will be needed. You will need to be able to login to the cluster from your laptop.
