High performance computing on the Vlaamse SuperComputer
20 June 2025, 13h00-17h00
General context
This training will show you how to work on the HPC cluster of the VSC.
People who want to follow a training that makes use of the HPC cluster (like our spatial data analysis training, our genome assembly training and our variant analysis training) and who have no experience with HPC should follow this training first.
The training will show you how to:
- access the HPC cluster
- get your data on and off the cluster
- submit jobs to use the software on the cluster
- set up a conda environment on the cluster
- run Python scripts on the cluster
Everyone who wants to follow a course that uses the VSC (Vlaamse Super Computer) like the spatial data analysis course and who has no experience with working on the VSC should follow this training.
If you have no experience with Linux you should follow the Linux introduction first.
