Unix: Building, Installing and Running Software (3 of 3) Finished 09:30 - 13:00 Phoenix Teaching Room

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

It is common for a student or researcher to find a piece of software or to have one thrust upon them by a supervisor which they must then build, install and use. It is a myth that any of this requires system privilege. This course demonstrates the building, installation and use of typical software ranging from trivially easy examples (the "configure, make, install" scheme) through to the evils of badly written Makefiles. Common errors and what they mean will be covered and by the end of the course the student should be able to manage their own software without needing to pester their system administrator.
C: Introduction for Those New to Programming (3 of 3) Finished 09:30 - 13:00 Phoenix Teaching Room

A course in basic C programming intended for beginners to programming only. The aim of the course is to get everyone to the stage of being able to write small utility programs in C for carrying out simple calculations and data manipulation.

Negotiation Skills (2 of 2) Finished 10:00 - 12:30 Peterhouse: Lubbock Room


Being able to negotiate well is essential for many staff at all levels within the University. Recognise your strengths and weaknesses as a negotiator and learn how to identify and examine different negotiation techniques. Start to identify and practice those principled approaches that are most likely to prove successful when negotiating an important agreement or settlement.
Python: Introduction for Absolute Beginners (3 of 3) Finished 14:15 - 17:00 Phoenix Teaching Room

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This course is aimed at those new to programming and provides an introduction to programming using Python, focussing on scientific programming. This course is probably unsuitable for those with significant programming experience. By the end of this course, attendees should be able to write simple Python programs and to understand more complex Python programs written by others.

As this course is part of the Scientific Computing series, the examples chosen are of most relevance to scientific programming.

Parallel Programming: Introduction to MPI (1 of 3) Finished 09:30 - 16:30 Room GL.04 (CMS, Wilberforce Road)

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This is a simple introduction to using MPI for writing parallel programs to run on clusters and multi-CPU systems, for the purposes of "high-performance computing". It will cover the principles of MPI, and teach the use of the basic facilities of MPI (i.e. the ones that are used in most HPC applications), so that attendees will be able to write serious programs using it. It will describe other features that may be useful, but not teach their use. Any requests for particular coverage will be welcomed, but cannot be promised.
