# Tasks for getting started in the CRP group

**1. Working with a Terminal:**
Familiarize yourself with standard bash commands to be able to navigate, inspect and edit files on a compute cluster.
Resources: http://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/
old: https://v4.software-carpentry.org/shell/index.html (especially chapter 9 - ssh)

**2. Quick introduction to PIConGPU:**
Familiarize yourself with the general concept of PIConGPU (and ISAAC).

Videos ISAAC: https://www.youtube.com/user/Netzwerkfehler38/videos

**3. Compute clusters:**
Getting to know how a compute cluster works
Our local cluster “hemera” uses SLURM scheduling

**4. Primer to Plasma physics simulations:**
Get to know the physical processes in laser plasma accelerators etc.
Resources LWFA, KHI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3616045 (Section 1, 6.1, 6.2, 7.1, 7.2)
Resources TNSA, PIC: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3266820 (Section 1, 2, and partially 3)
(do not worry about equations) 

**5. Primer to ISAAC:**
Theoretical background to our in-situ live visualization ISAAC.
