Welcome to the Python HPC workshop!

Start by opening the file 0_presentation.pdf to setup jupyter server. The rest of tutorials are in the notebook files.

First day – Jupyter notebook on ULHPC / profiling efficient usage of Numpy

Program

• Setting up a Jupyter notebook on an HPC node - 10am to 11am
• Taking time and profiling python code - 11am to 12pm
• Lunch break - 12pm to 2pm
• Numpy basics for replacing python loops for efficient computations - 2pm to 4pm

Requirements

• Having an HPC account to access the cluster. For those of you who do not have a ULHPC account, please request one here before the session: https://hpc-docs.uni.lu/accounts/#how-to-get-an-new-user-account
• Basic knowledge on SLURM (beginners HPC school).
• A basic understanding of Python programming.
• Familiarity with Jupyter Notebook.
• A basic understanding of Numpy and linear algebra.

Second day – Improving performance with python parallel packages
