What is it?

SNIC’s latest HPC service Tetralith, hosted at NSC, has recently been opened for user service. When all components are available in January, Tetralith will be the most powerful HPC service available to SNIC users. The course will give an overview on the system together with the local LiU Sigma cluster, how to work with it and how to make efficient use of your allocation. The event will be useful for both beginners and more advanced users. It will also provide a forum for direct interactions with consultants from NSC.

During the day we will go through topics including:

• What is new compared with Triolith / Gamma?
• Getting the most out of your core-hours, running jobs efficiently
• How to build your own software
• How to use available software
• Using jupyter notebooks
• How to organize your data

The seminar will present useful tools and best practices for working effectively on the new Tetralith / Sigma HPC systems.
