Workshop
We are working on setting up advanced workshops for ALICE and SHARK users. Like the beginner workshop, they will be open to users from both clusters and jointly given by both support teams.
In contrast to the beginner workshop, they will focus on a specific topic with topics changing from workshop to workshop. They will most likely feature a shorter presentation (compared to the beginner workshop) in order to have more room for questions and discussions.
Our plan is to start with the first workshop at the end of February. Details will be announced in early January.
We are maintaining a list of potential topics and suggestions from users are very welcome. You can send your suggestions to helpdesk@alice.leidenuniv.nlon Slurm
In this workshop, we will look at some aspects of using Slurm in more detail, e.g.:
Setting resources for jobs
Job scheduling and priority
salloc and srun
Ntasks versus cpus-per-task and when to use what
Depending on time, we can also look at job arrays
For now, this workshop is usually done in-person.
| Note |
|---|
This workshop is not an introduction to Slurm. Participants should have at least some minimal practical experience with using Slurm on ALICE or SHARK. |
| Info |

For completely new users on ALICE and SHARK, we also recommend to attend an introduction workshop first. |
