This tutorial will teach you the basics of DUNE Computing.
Instructors will engage students with hands-on lessons focused in three areas:
- Data storage and management,
- Introduction to LArSoft,
- Job submission and monitoring.
Mentors will answer your questions and provide technical support.
Prerequisites
Command line experience is necessary for this training. We recommend the participants to go through The Unix Shell, if new to the command line (also known as terminal or shell).
By the end of this workshop, participants will know how to:
- Utilize data volumes at FNAL.
- Understand good data management practices.
- Provide a basic overview of art and LArSoft to a new researcher.
- Develop configuration files to control batch jobs.
- Monitor jobs submitted to the grid.
You will need to be a DUNE Collaborator (listed member), and have a valid FNAL or CERN computing account to join the tutorial. Contact your DUNE group leader for assistance.
