Talk
SMACK 18: Modules and Python Virtual Environments
The first part of this talk will present an overview of the tool "module" and its main commands and flags. "module" provides the dynamic modification of the...
SMACK 19: "Introducing the new 133-Mpixel visualization wall of the IAC"
In a time when we deal with extremely large images (be it from computer simulations or from extremely powerful telescopes), visualizing them can become a...
SMACK 1: History of the Unix-like operating systems and introduction to the command-line
Short Meetings on Astro Computing Knowledge (SMACK) are a series of talks, or more appropriately 'live demonstrations', presented in the Instituto de...
SMACK 20: Inversion codes to solve the Radiative Transfer Equation in Solar Physics
We divide this talk into two parts. In the first part, we will introduce the numerical codes we use, mainly in solar physics, to infer information about the...
Slurm Workload Manager (formerly known as Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM), or simply Slurm, is a free and open-source job scheduler for...
SMACK 22: Backups (& encryption) of your laptop data
Gone are the days when we used workstations as our main day to day computer. Backing-up your data has always been important, but the risks were much fewer then...
SMACK 23: The versatile Rybicky-Hummer (RH) radiative transfer code
I will give a brief introduction to the RH code, illustrated with some examples. The code is a general purpose radiative transfer code capable of solving the...
SMACK 24: Introduction to the MESA 1-D stellar Evolution code
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) is one of the most widely used open-source code packages to compute one-dimensional models for stellar...
SMACK 2: POSIX power tools: Command-line tools and shell scripting
The shell (or command-line) is the most commonly used (for advanced operations) interface to Unix-like operating systems. In this session we'll introduce some...
