Department of Solid State Engineering

Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to introduce students into the Linux system environment and therein used GNU utilities and programming tools to such a level, that they would be able to use these tools for creating scripts and programs for processing acquired or simulated data for their experiments in physics with the use of the facultys Hyperion cluster (however the learned skills could of course be applied to any Linux system).

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1Linux, system, principles, structure, basic commands and utilities

2GNU Bourne-Again Shell, introduction to scripting language, commands

3GNU Compiler Collection and GNU C Compiler

4Language C and its GNU implementation, complete introduction to language

5Principles and use of C in GNU environment, structure of translation

6Preprocessor and assembler, user viewpoint

7Linker, manual translation procedures, use of libraries

8Working with GNU Make, Main Features

9GNU Autotools, Autoconf, Automake, Libtool, M4

10Version Control Software - Subversion, GIT

11Hyperion cluster, introduction, topology and architecture (HW + SW)

12Task management system, shell modules, parallel environment

13Examples of using the cluster to data processing.
