Course objectives
At the end of the course, students should be able to use basic commands of Unix and Linux operating systems, combine them into more complex structures using scripting, create scripts in the AWK and gnuplot programming languages. Students should be able to combine their scripting knowledge to analyze outputs of basic scientific and technical calculations. Acquired skills are a prerequisite for computational chemistry and molecular modeling, and for a follow-up study of compiled programming languages ​​(C / C + +).
Syllabus
  • 1. Cluster WOLF (structure, usage rules, administrators)
  • 2. Login (local and remote login, display export, password change)
  • 3. Program equipment (system applications, scientific applications)
  • 4. Text editors (vi, graphical text editors)
  • 5. Command line (terminals, structure, history and automatic completition)
  • 6. File system (structure, absolute and relative paths, permissions, special files, disk volumes)
  • 7. Commands (manual pages, overview of commands)
  • 8. Processes (processes, standard input and output, redirections, pipes)
  • 9. Introduction into scripting (what is scripting, advantages and disadvantages, script execution)
  • 10. Scripting in Bash (variables, basic controlling constructions)
  • 11. Scripting in gnuplot (2D and 3D graph drawing, interactive versus non-interactive mode)
  • 12. Scripting in AWK (basic construction, simple text file processing)
  • 13. Application of scripting (analysis of free energy calculations, students projects)

Teaching methods
lectures, exercising practical examples, class discussion
Assessment methods
Participation in seminars is required (two excused absences are allowed). Two tests (2 x 10 points) will take place during the semestr. The final test (50 points) will take place in the examination period. It will be followed by a task to write a script (30 points) according to written instructions. At least 80 points are required to pass the course.
