Sometimes you need to run many similar calculations. Instead of running them one after the other and managing many job scripts or writing elaborate shell scripts, we will learn how to run them potentially at the same time using a workflow manager without writing many job scripts.
We will demonstrate and practice this using Snakemake. If your calculation is a for-loop in Python or R and it takes too long to run, this session is for you.
The course is open to all and free of charge, but registration is mandatory.

Best Practices for High Performance Computing
This course is a part of NRIS best practices and tools hands-on course for users of the national infrastructure services. The workshop is organised as a series of events - normally within one semester. During these events, each topic will focus on different aspects related to the everyday usage of high-performance computing (HPC) clusters and/or storage facilities in order to facilitate a valuable and productive framework to develop your research.
This is a follow-up course to the NRIS HPC on-boarding course (although it is not a prerequisite, we expect the participants to have basic HPC knowledge). Being familiar with basic tools used with HPC and remote computing is fundamental for this course. We assume familiarity with the Linux command line.
