Learning How to program on HPC cluster (part III: Python, Julia, Fortran)

Wednesday 13 Nov 2024, 09:30 → 16:30 Europe/Brussels

CYCL02 (Louvain-La-Neuve)

Python/Julia are scripting languages used in many scientific software. In this session, we will cover the basics of python/Julia and introduce the concept of object oriented code with Python.
Contents: Introduction to Python Python as an Object Oriented Language Introduction to Julia	Prerequisite: Being able to use SSH with private keys  Being familiar with a text editor  Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.) Type: Hands-on Target audience: Rookie programmer Must: This session is a nice-to-have for those who are using Python for science

09:30 → 10:15 Python as an Object Oriented Language

The point of this lecture is to explain the concept of object oriented programming and using python to present the various concept and advantages.
Contents: Data structure Class Object/Instance Inheritance	Prerequisite: Being able to use SSH with private keys  Being familiar with a text editor  Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.) Type: Hands-on Target audience: Rookie programmer Must: This session is a nice-to-have for those who are using Python for science

10:30 → 12:30 Introduction to Julia

Julia is a recent (2012) programming language created at the MIT with the aim to provide performance on par with the likes of C and Fortran, with the ease of use of languages like Python and Matlab. The goal of this session is to introduce the key ideas of Julia while giving as many pointers for getting started as possible.

Contents:

• Installing Julia
• Basics of Julia
• Multiple Dispatch
• Installing and managing packages

 

Prerequisite:

• Being able to use SSH with private keys 
• Being familiar with a text editor 
• Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.)

Type: Hands-on
Target audience: Rookie programmer
Must: This session is a nice-to-have for those who need to develop fast scientific software.

Speaker: Cédric Simal (Université de Namur)
