Title
[ENCCS Webinar] Software Installation on HPC
About this webinar
Installing software on High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems differs from typical installations on personal computers due to multi-user environments, shared resources, and system-wide configurations.
Instead of installing software globally, users often work within shared or isolated environments while leveraging specialized tools for software management.
There are multiple methods available to install software on HPC systems depending on specific configuration of HPC systems.
This webinar is designed for new users of the HPC systems who want to install software by themselves. It will cover topics such as compiling code from source (make and cmake), utilizing "package managers" (conda, spack, and easybuild), and deploying executables with containers (Singularity) on the HPC systems.
Who is the webinar for
This webinar is ideal for both beginners and intermediate HPC users looking to improve their software installation skills in a high-performance computing environment. It is suitable for those who use or manage HPC systems and need to install and manage software efficiently in these environments including
- researchers using HPC clusters for simulations, AI/ML, or big data analysis.
- HPC users & software developers using HPC for parallel computing, AI, or numerical simulations
- system administrators & HPC support staff responsible for maintaining HPC software environments
- AI & data science practitioners running models on HPC clusters and cloud computing platforms
Key takeaways
By the end of this webinar, the participants will:
- understand basics of HPC software installation
- learn why software installation on HPC differs from regular systems
- explore different software installation methods
- learn best practices for managing software dependencies
- optimize performance for HPC workloads
- gain hands-on experience with practical examples
