SUMMARY:Sliding into Slurm:  An early look at U-M's new high-performance computing environment
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will provide a brief overview of the the new HPC environment and is intended for current Flux and Armis users.  We will use the temporary Beta HPC cluster to demonstrate how jobs will be submitted and managed under the new Great Lakes\, Armis2\, and Lighthouse clusters available later this year. \n  \nThere are many differences between the familiar Flux environment and that of the new HPC clusters\, including a new batch scheduling system\, a new interactive batch job environment\, a new HPC web portal\, a new module environment\, and a new on-demand-only job accounting system. \n  \nWe will cover these differences in the workshop\, and provide hands-on training in creating and running job submission scripts in the new HPC environment.  Students are expected to be conversant with the Linux command line and have experience in creating\, submitting\, and troubleshooting PBS batch scripts.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Flux cluster and batch computing
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis workshop will provide a brief overview of the components of the Flux Cluster. The main body of the workshop will cover the resource manager and scheduler\, creating submissions scripts to run jobs and the options available in them\, and hands-on experience. By the end of the workshop\, every participant should have created a submission script\, submitted a job\, tracked its progress\, and collected its output. Participants will have several working examples from which to build their own submissions scripts in their own home directories. \nPrerequisites\nObtain a user account on Flux. If you do not have a Flux user account\, click here to go to the account application page at: https://arc-ts.umich.edu/fluxform/ \nRegister for Duo authentication. See below for details. \nThis course assumes familiarity with the Linux command line as might be got from the CSCAR/ARC-TS workshop Introduction to the Linux Command Line. In particular\, participants should understand how files and folders work\, be able to create text files using the nano editor\, be able to create and remove files and folders\, and understand what input and output redirection are and how to use them. \n \nInstructor\nBennet Fauber\nScientific Applications Analyst\nAdvanced Research Computing — Technology Services \nBennet Fauber is a member of the technical team that administers the Flux cluster. \nMaterials\nIn-class handouts\n\nOutput from qstat\nOutput from checkjob\nOutput from mdiag\nOutput from showq\n\nSupplementary materials\n\nFlux in Ten Easy Steps\nUsing PBS\nUsing software modules\nLinking libraries with applications\nEstablishing and managing a Flux project allocation\n\n\nCourse Preparation\nIn order to participate successfully in the workshop exercises\, you must have a Flux user account and be registered for the Duo authentication service. The user account allows you to log in to the cluster\, create\, compile\, and test applications\, and prepare Flux jobs for submission. Information about registering for Duo is at the ITS Two Factor Authentication web page. \nFlux user account\nA single Flux user account can be used to prepare and submit jobs using various allocations. If you already already possess a user account\, you can use it for this course\, you can skip to “Flux allocation” below. If not\, please visit https://arc-ts.umich.edu/fluxform to obtain one.

SUMMARY:ARC-TS Town Hall on Next Generation HPC Cluster
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan is beginning the process of building our next generation HPC platform\, “Big House.”  Flux\, the shared HPC cluster\, has reached the end of its useful life. Flux has served us well for more than five years\, but as we move forward with replacement\, we want to make sure we’re meeting the needs of the research community. \nARC-TS will be holding a series of town halls to take input from faculty and researchers on the next HPC platform to be built by the University.  These town halls are open to anyone. \nYour input will help to ensure that U-M is on course for providing HPC\, so we hope you will make time to attend one of these sessions. If you cannot attend\, please email hpc-support@umich.edu with any input you want to share.
