Lectures on Quark/Stoomboot/GRID

If running your analysis on a local machine no longer is fast enough there are three options to acces more powerful computing. Please discuss with your supervisor which option suits best.

Introduction to Quark Cluster

If you have an Utrecht University computing (Solis) account, you can get access to the quark cluster in Utrecht. Discuss with your supervisor whether this is useful and who to ask to activate your account.

• UU GRASP computing page.

Introduction to stoomboot

Stoomboot is the computing cluster at Nikhef. You will need a Nikhef account to acces the cluster.

• Introduction to interactive data analysis on stoomboot
• Usage of ALICE software and running analysis at Nikhef
• Template task for interactive run
• Introduction to batch data analysis on stoomboot
• Bash script to be used for batch analysis
• Partial list of LHC10h runs

Introduction to GRID analysis

GRID is the computing grid from CERN. You will need a CERN computing account to acces the resources.

• Introduction to individual user data analysis on the GRID
