Course: Introduction to running R, Python, Julia, and Matlab in HPC

Learn how to run R, Python, Julia, and Matlab 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 four half-days (9:00-16:00), one for each language. It is a cooperation between HPC2N, LUNARC, and UPPMAX. 

NOTE: the course will NOT cover the topic of improving your programming skills in R, Python, Julia, or Matlab. Likewise, we will not cover advanced techniques for code optimization.

Prerequisites: some familiarity with the LINUX command line (recordings from HPC2N's Linux intro here and UPPMAX Linux Intro here and also here), basic R, Python, Julia, or Matlab, 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: 22-25 October 2024, four days, one for each language. 9:00 - 16:00 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: 14. October 2024

Participation in the course is free.
