Preparation for training 

  1. Participants can apply for access to the INL HPC and licenses for Griffin, Pronghorn, and BlueCRAB at https://inl.gov/ncrc (allow 4 weeks to obtain access – cutoff for foreign nationals is April 13th, 2022).
  2. A limited time license option is available and will expedite the process. To obtain a limited access:
    1. javier.ortensi@inl.gov) in the INL Collaborator/Sponsor field and provide the following sentence in the HPC Account Justification field to obtain a limited time license.
      Justification: Attend the PHYSOR 2022 workshop titled NEAMS Tools for Pebble Bed Reactor Analysis to gain practical experience with Griffin, Pronghorn, and BlueCRAB.
    2. Select Level-1 licenses for Griffin, Pronghorn, and BlueCRAB.

  3. Become familiar with on demand to move files from and to the INL HPC and to access the command line interface: https://hpcondemand.inl.gov/

  4. Install ParaView:

    ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. It works seamlessly with MOOSE exodus output files. It allows you to inspect your MOOSE results.
