Welcome to MEOM !

Here you can find useful informations about how we make scientific analysis.

• First, we are using mostly Linux and Mac distributions, so a prerequisiste is to know the basics Unix Shell commands, if it is not your case, have a look at this tutorial

• Then, a nice way to back-up and access your work (scripts, notebooks, text files, etc ...) from anywhere is to create a github account and to synchronize your work there. Learn how to do it here

• If you are working with python, we recommend that you use conda to manage your librairies via environments. Learn how to do it here

• Also a nice way to have the code you write and the plots you produce at the same place, along with some texts, equations and/or pictures is to use jupyter notebooks. Learn how to install and use it here

• Next, you may want to access some remote computers in order to have more ressources than on your personnal laptop or to access some datasets, you have several options :

  • the team server cal1, for small computations or access to MEOM data. Learn how to compute there here
  • the Grenoble meso computing center GRICAD for bigger computations. Learn how to compute there here
  • the national supercomputers located at IDRIS, CINES or TGCC for even bigger computations

A list of useful softwares and how to learn about them is available here

Also, you can learn on how to deploy jupyter notebooks on different machines : cal1, occigen, jean zay and gricad
