To get started on the supercomputer you need to follow the instructions and get an account from https://marylou.byu.edu/. Once you have this set up you can SSH in with

 ssh <username>@ssh.fsl.byu.edu 

Welcome to our new home directory. Using the supercomputer means we have to remember elementary school and be nice and share. This means we can only used software that is approved and stored in modules. For this class we want to use python, tensorflow, and cuda for the GPU. We setup our environment by creating a file called .modules and telling it what we want to use.

#%Module

module load defaultenv
module add cuda
module add cudnn/4.0_gcc-4.4.7
module add tensorflow/0.9.0_python-2.7.11+cuda

The computer lab grants most memory to the compute directory, so from now on we will make sure to put all data and code in there.
