About this training

Welcome to HPC Workshop 3 - Module Systems and Slurm Jobs — an essential part of your journey toward mastering high-performance computing (HPC) with HSUper! This workshop introduces you to two critical aspects of HPC: managing software environments with module systems and efficiently submitting and managing tasks using the Slurm workload manager.

This course is part of the reimagined HSUper Workshops series, originally offered as a six-part on-site program. Now presented as flexible, self-paced digital trainings, these workshops are designed to empower HSUper users to independently develop the competencies needed to make the most of HPC resources.

Learning Goals

• Module Systems: In this course you will learn how to understand module Systems and practice how to list, load and unload software modules.

• Compute Nodes: After that, you will practice to allocate compute nodes interactively.

• Slurm Jobs: Last but not least we will focus on writing, configuring and submitting Slurm jobs, as well as practicing to handle the job queue, update queued jobs and cancel running jobs.

Level of Difficulty

This workshop is tailored for new HSUper users at the Beginner-Level who are ready to take their first steps in the world of HPC. Whether you’re exploring computational science, running data-intensive simulations, or optimizing large-scale workflows, this course provides the foundational knowledge you need to get started.

Requirements

While this course is free to use for everyone, you will need Acess to HSUper and a VPN Connection or Access to the Campus-Network of HSU, to actually work through it.

• Access to HSUper

It might also be useful to have a look at the content from the first and second HPC Workshops.
