Portability of HPC Lessons

What is lesson portability?

• Trying to make sure the effort to use a lesson at another site is minimal
• Automated:
  • Configurable
  • There should be no changes needed to the lesson content

How do we achieve lesson portability?

Example: Introduction to HPC

• Use site configuration variables in our _config.yml

  snippets: "/snippets_library/ComputeCanada_Graham_slurm"
  
  local:
    prompt: "[user@laptop ~]$"

# Include output of a bash command
~~~
{% include {{ site.snippets }}/modules/available-modules.snip %}
~~~
{: .language-bash}

# Reference a site variable
{{ site.local.prompt }}

Example: Running LAMMPS on HPC systems
