 Yes, so as you know, here's our course webpage in the schedule you can find where we are now We're at the general introduction, which I have open here In the presentation mode, yes so Welcome everyone to this kickstart course so What's this course so day one is sort of a big picture day we talk about high-performance computing and Some other practical skills. It's mostly lectures and demo. So you're sort of here watching and It's quite generic. So most of what we cover applies to any Any university you'd be working day two and three is More specific. So it's about using a computer cluster so traditionally this would be called the HPC or high-performance computing cluster, but we're not really getting to the high-performance computing part we're getting to the computing part and being able to Say run one thing very many times and so on and we use the altar university cluster tried to as an example But what we say will be actual applicable to others So if you see the examples here and you can probably work through them on your own cluster And then you can be very well equipped to adapt it adapted to your own own sites cluster So who's attending? So we have multiple universities here and we're all using different clusters But like I said We will be very careful about explaining things So You'll be able to know what's specific to us and what's applicable to other people So who's here? So we are ultra scientific computing also officially known as science IT We are running this course and we're running it in collaboration with other universities as part of the finish computing competence infrastructure which used to be known as the finish grid and cloud infrastructure and Before that the finish grid infrastructure Basically, it's the network of universities that do scientific computing and it's The teams that support it and there's one talk in collaboration with csc that's later today So some practicalities So Yeah, we already talked a little bit about how things works, but why are we doing this twitch thing? so Our point is that we have a live stream broadcast like a tv production Which means that anyone can watch which is something that Well, people don't really do with the zoom meetings and we have process for exercises So it's like a commercial break. So then at that time you go to your own groups and you do things So we have a zoom for the people who've registered from finland And in here, there'll be different breakout rooms where you Do the exercises and you can get help depending on your university and with different people and so on So with 260 people registered and more than 200 watching the stream right now It's going to be difficult to get as much of personal interaction as we would otherwise But we'll do the best we can It's better to say things than not and you'll learn about how you can get more one-on-one support later on So within the workshop, there's different things you'll experience. There's talking and demonstrations which are on the Stream here, then there's type along where we'll be doing some task and then you can type and follow There's exercises Which you can do different ways and there's breaks And we'll basically be following along tell you what's going on trying to make it clear And if you ever get lost if you open the hack md and scroll to the bottom You should find information about what we are currently doing Let's see the chat and communication So yeah, please don't use the zoom chat for questions There'll be too many for us to keep track and they'll get lost and even if we answer the Uh, what we write will just go into nowhere and no one can ever see it again. Instead we have hack md So here there's indications of the sections we're on the parts of the sections You write questions in bullet points. There's answers more down There can be multiple answers per questions and To ask new ones at the bottom I think most of you have already found how to switch between edit and view mode Please try to stay in view mode if you're not actually editing. We think that helps makes things a little bit more clear Let's see So it's important to not get overloaded here if this is anything like our previous courses There will be a lot of information In this hack md people will be asking so many questions so Try to leave it open, but Realize the information isn't going away. You can go back and read it later So thank do you want to you need to read the answer to your question right now? Or should you come back later and often it will be come back later um And like I said in dice breaker the hack md is completely public anyone in the world can find it if they know the right thing and It will be There'll be times it will come on the screen here. So don't include any names or anything there ever In other workshops, you would say if you need personal help write a breakout room number and someone can go there So the ice breaker we've already been doing Okay, let's see I've already talked about where do you focus because there's just so much information So the screen share and lecture is the most important thing Um, and then there's your own type long And then there's the hack md, which has things so hack md is more like a passive Watching thing And then of course there's the lesson web page and so on Which you'll be following as needed So the screen arrangement so you may notice we have this really interesting portrait style Stream So that's because we realized that the landscape doesn't really help People that much. I mean you're not watching a movie here. This is a interactive workshop You need a lot of screen space to do your own work so for that we realized to set A vertical share so you can put it on half your screen And the other half we're actually slightly more than half is available for you to work And then after a lot of effort we optimized the right size So you two would not downscale it and so on and so on This example here is using zoom and not twitch But the same thing applies to twitch if you're watching from twitch itself You can put the view into theater mode and it will scale like this a little bit better Or if you're watching via our own Our own other site then It should be ready for you already and then you have plenty of space to share or to have your terminals where you're working The web page maybe hack and de-open in another window so you can follow it and so on So this will get a little bit weird for a few talks today that are based on slides that are landscape style But we will do the best we can Yeah, so there's more than one way to take this course. So first off we have far more material than we can possibly cover So we adjust to the audience so if we don't cover everything or we say, okay We're not going to do this. That's normal Don't panic. Don't think you're missing something all the materials available for self-study later on Also, not everyone needs to take the same path here So some people may want to just watch to figure out how Like how this cluster even works like what what will I be doing in a few months or a few years? And then you're ready later. That's fine Some people may be active and try to do all the exercises and some may be Advanced and want to do even more exercises and go further than we go. All of these are fine You can adjust to how you would like things Oh, I guess I didn't mention here that everything is recorded and will be put on youtube So you can follow along later. So it's fine if you miss anything now um yes So we're a community here So please try to be respectful and helpful to Everyone in the course, especially your fellow learners So there's four little pieces of advice here. I can mention so one everyone's at different levels. That's okay to be expected Everyone will be both teaching and learning Take some time to ask each other how things are going like um You know are Do you need help and so on and when something isn't going right speak up right away If you can't hear us if the screen's too small Whatever, let us know right away Okay, some final notes Okay, here it says recording. So this course will be recorded and put on youtube Um because of the way we're doing it. There's no risk for any of your information to be on youtube It'll just be us the instructors So we don't give you credits for attending this course But there is this online course hands-on scientific computing that covers a lot of the same material And will allow you to get credits And then please join us um We are staff at alto, but anyone here can help us in um Well supporting the computing for the whole university
