NPRG042 Programming in Parallel Environment [2023/24]

Labs

The work in labs focuses on introducing technologies, which are subsequently used in home assignments. Therefore, it is widely recommended to attend the labs. Details about labs and seminars will be updated continuously.

Please, bring your laptops to the seminar at least in the weeks denoted when a collective lab session takes place.

Both labs and home assignments will require that you get yourselves familiar with our parlab and gpulab clusters and the SLURM management system. See the KSI clusters readme. Quick info:

• The head nodes bear the same name as the cluster with MS domain suffix (like parlab.ms.mff.cuni.cz).
• SSH is relocated to port 42222 for security reasons. (use -p 42222 option with your SSH client)
• Use your CAS credentials to log in (same as to SIS, ReCodEx...).
• You need to run most of your code (including compilation) on the workers using the SLURM tool (follow the documentation or look for hints at individual assignments)
