[LA-SIGMA] HPC Training: Python package and environment management on HPC

[Feng Chen]

Dear All,

The schedule for the Spring 2022 HPC Training is available at http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/tutorials.php.

Our next HPC training will be held on Wednesday, March 30 at 9:00 AM. Due to concern about the COVID-19 pandemic, all training sessions are Zoom online events from 9:00AM to 11:00AM. The sessions will be recorded for later review.

Note that all HPC trainings will start at 9:00AM.

Wednesday, March 30, 2022: Python package and environment management on HPC
Python comes with extensive libraries and many of them come in the form of packages that can be installed separately. Given the astounding number of Python packages, it is not sustainable to install all of them system widely under a shared HPC cluster environment. This training tutorial will introduce two popular Python package and environment management tools: The Python Package Index (PyPI) and Conda. Details and examples will be given on how to install different Python packages in user's local directories, and how to create and manage virtual environments for different projects on LSU and LONI HPC clusters.
Prerequisites: Basic understanding of the python programming language is assumed but not required.

Please visit http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/tutorials.php for more details and register using the link provided. Users will be provided with a zoom link in their registration confirmation email. Please see the system requirements at https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362023-System-Requirements-for-PC-Mac-and-Linux.

Please distribute to faculty, staff and students that might be interested.

Thanks,
