Steps for courses

To be able to run a course on Anunna, there are a couple of steps to take as a teacher:

• Create a reservation on the HPC so are sure to have resources for the course
  • Please alert the admins one month in advance so you can be sure there is space on the cluster
  • Use this Service Now form to request the resources you need.
• Create accounts for all involved (Teachers/TA's/students)
  • You can start with the teachers and TA's, and add the students later once they are known
  • Use this Service Now form to request the accounts you need.
• If you want to use Jupyter:
  • Create and test your own kernel, there are multiple options for this:
    • virtualenv
    • conda
  • Create a ticket to get your kernel added to the list in https://notebook.anunna.wur.nl
  • To ease the use of the service, we give courses a dropdown to set up number of CPUs/memory/runtime. Please create a ticket to ask us to add your course to the dropdown menu.

Besides the above interactions, the HPC admin team will also:

• Create a teams channel between the course organisers and administrators, so we have a hotline in case of issues.
• Be present at the start of your course (if on campus), to smooth out any issues that might arise at the start (missing/not working accounts)
