Obtaining a copy of this repository

On your own computer

You will want to download the repository to your laptop to get all of the slides. The best method is to use git, so that you can update the repository as more slides and material are added over the course of the event. So, if you have git installed, use the same method as for Piz Daint below (in a directory of your choosing).

You can also download the code as a zip file by clicking on the green Clone or download button on the top right hand side of the github page, then clicking on Download zip.

On Piz Daint via JupyterLab

Go to https://jupyter.cscs.ch/ and sign in using your CSCS course credentials
Launch JupyterLab (might take a couple of minutes)
- Advanced reservation '(reservation name will be updated later)'
- Default values for the other fields (unless told otherwise by the instructor)
Launch a new terminal : File -> New -> Terminal
Issue the following commands on the terminal:

ln -s $SCRATCH scratch
cd $SCRATCH
git clone https://github.com/eth-cscs/SummerUniversity2023.git

On Piz Daint via ssh

This is an alternative method to the JupyterLab method above

# log onto Piz Daint ...
ssh classNNN@ela.cscs.ch
ssh daint

# go to scratch
cd $SCRATCH
git clone https://github.com/eth-cscs/SummerUniversity2023.git

Updating the repository

Lecture slides and source code will be continually added and updated on the remote git repository throughout the course. To update your local repository you can simply go inside the path and type

git pull origin main

There is a posibility that you might have a conflict between your working version of the repository and the origin. In this case you can ask one of the assistants for help.

How to access Piz Daint

This will be covered in the lectures and you can find more details in the CSCS User Portal.
