New Platforms User Training - Hamilton

New Zealand eScience Infrastructure(NeSI) designs, builds, and operates a shared national platform of advanced computing resources and data services. All researchers in Aotearoa New Zealand have access to NeSI’s platforms. Through NeSI, researchers can access high-capacity CPUs, GPUs and high memory nodes; tailored software environments; expertise in research software and data science engineering; and skills training in computational  tools and approaches. NeSI enables researchers to investigate large, unique, or complex projects more easily, quickly, and accurately.  To learn more, get in touch: info@nesi.org.nz.

<P>These sessions will be <STRONG>introductory</STRONG> and cover the <STRONG>basics</STRONG> of getting started on NeSI's <STRONG>new platforms - Mahuika and M<SPAN>āui</SPAN></STRONG>. </P>
<P>Example topics in this new platforms training include:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Important changes from the old platforms</LI>
<LI>Accessing the machines</LI>
<LI>Data transfer and file systems</LI>
<LI>Finding installed software</LI>
<LI>Submitting jobs with Slurm</LI>
<LI>Building code</LI>
</UL>

<DIV>These training materials will also be documented and available on Github and linked to a new User Support portal for reference and self-serve support. An overview of the proposed training curriculum can be <A HREF="https://www.nesi.org.nz/nesis-new-platforms#training" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="NeSI new platforms training" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">found on the NeSI website</A>.</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN><EM><STRONG>Pre-requisite knowledge:</STRONG> </EM><BR>This training is targeted at existing users who will be moving projects from the old platforms (Pan and Kupe) onto the new platforms (Mahuika and M<SPAN>ā</SPAN>ui). A base level of knowledge around how to use NeSI HPC resources is expected. This is not an 'Introduction to Using NeSI' session. If you require an introduction to using NeSI for HPC, please contact <A HREF="mailto:support@nesi.org.nz" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">support@nesi.org.nz</A><SPAN>.</SPAN>. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><EM><STRONG>Note for Kupe Users: </STRONG></EM><BR><SPAN><SPAN>This training will be very similar to the training Kupe users received last year when they moved from FitzRoy to Kupe. The new Māui platform is very similar to Kupe, so few, if any, changes in operation &amp; environment are expected for Kupe users.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
