NIH HPC News & Announcements
Upcoming NIH HPC classes in early Feb 2018
Date: 24 January 2018 14:01:14
From: "Elghraoui, Afif [C]"
The NIH HPC staff will present two classes in early February 2018.
These classes are hands-on and each will be taught in a
single 3 hour morning session.
Classes are free but registration is required. They may be
taken individually or as a pair. HPC users will take
priority when enrolling.
Creating and running software containers with Singularity
------------------------------------------------------------
Date & Time: Tue Feb 06, 2018, 9 am - 12 pm
Location: Bldg 12, Rm B51
Containers give you the freedom to install custom software in a
portable virtual environment. This environment can be copied and
shared, fostering collaboration and reproducibility in bioinformatics
analyses.
In this workshop, you will use Singularity to create and run containers.
You will learn how to install Singularity on your Linux system, create
containers with your choice of Linux distribution and software, and use
Singularity to run containerized applications, especially on the NIH
Biowulf cluster.
please note: for this workshop, access to a Linux environment with the
ability to execute commands as the *root user* is necessary. A Linux
laptop or virtual machine (VM) should fulfill this requirement. Access
to temporary cloud VMs will be provided for attendees who do not have a
suitable system of their own.
Building a reproducible workflow with Snakemake and
Singularity
------------------------------------------------------------
Date & Time: Wed Feb 07, 2018, 9 am - 12 pm
Location: Bldg 12, Rm B51
Students attending this class will learn how to build a workflow with
Snakemake and how to make it more reproducible with Singularity
containers. This class will make use of the Biowulf cluster and
*requires knowledge of the Linux command line as well as Python*.
Registration for all classes is available at
