Course: Using Python at LRZ
Content
As a general-purpose programming language with a growing user-base amongst data scientists, Python is increasingly used for data analysis and machine learning applications at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ).
In this half-day course several techniques and best practice examples will be demonstrated - empowering participants to use Python effectively on LRZ systems like the Linux Cluster and the upcoming LRZ cloud infrastructure.
Topics covered (subject to change)
- Installation of Python packages and libraries 
- Jupyter Notebooks on the Linux Cluster and the Compute Cloud 
- Simple ML applications on the GPU Cloud and the DGX-1 using TensorFlow and Keras 
- Parallel Programming on the Linux Cluster 
- High quality scientific plotting 
- Batch Programming using Slurm and Python on the Linux Cluster
