Participants should bring a laptop to the summer school. The platform that will be used for the summer school will be primarily the cluster and visualization systems. It is strongly recommended, however, that one has a Linux-like environment on the laptop to be used. For Windows users, there are three options: MobaXterm, Cygwin and Windows Subsystems for Linux (WSL). In particular, one will need the following components: an SSH client, and an X-server if required. Both are included in MobaXterm. Optionally, it would be helpful to install development tools including editors, C/C++, Fortran compilers and the parallel development libraries such as OpenMPI, so that you can practice on your laptop.
