The Spring School is a workshop that takes place every year over the course of 3 days. The topics vary from year to year but in general aim to improve the participants capabilities and understanding, regarding tools and methods in the field of computer sciences. The course is specifically targeted at early career researchers and master students.
Join us in the CSH Spring School 2024.
You will learn how computational workflows can be containerized using the flexible Docker system.
On day 1, we cover the fundamental tools in scientific computing and the command line interface, before discussing in detail the concept of containerization. We focus on the building process and show how containers created on one computer can be run on another.
Day 2 is devoted to composing several containers to building small webapps, data pipelines and a short introduction to Singularity and Enroot, alternative containerizarion environments popular on cluster systems.
On day 3, we briefly introduce high-performance computing, using the state-funded bwUniCluster 2.0 in Baden-Württemberg as an example. We discuss the fundamentals of cluster computing like login, file transfer and job management. Finally, we demonstrate how software containers created locally can be run on a cluster computer, greatly facilitating the migration process. Live coding examples and practical exercises strengthen the understanding.
Registration happens over the universities "F.I.T" platform
