These materials accompany our remote-learning workshop on skills for using High Performance Computing facilities in Data Science research. This Workshop is presented as a series of video lectures, with exercises and code examples for self-study.
The videos, examples etc are available via the University of Warwick web pages here Videos are provided via Youtube.
These snippets are intended to support the material for study. Look for the mentions in Warwick-Blue /span> within the pdf instructions.
To run these, you will need either Jupyter, or Python depending. We use Python 3.5. The scripts assume you are on a system which provides /usr/bin/env and refers to Python-3 as python3.
We mostly assume that you are using a Linux-based system, such as Ubuntu, Mac-OS, or Debian. If you are using Windows, we would recommend a Virtual Machine running one of these. Ubuntu is user-friendly and VMs are easy to obtain.
In Windows 10 it is possible to do many of the examples using the Windows Subsystem for Linux, but we have not tested this
