Here are some instructions for logging onto CCLyon and getting started with the batch system that enables you to submit large jobs to the distributed computing cluster.
- Jekyll as the site generation engine
- GitHub Pages for hosting
- GFM and Kramdown for writing/parsing text
- MathJax for rendering math
The website generated by Jekyll can be built and served locally to test changes without making commits upstream. Note that GitHub Pages has a soft limit of 10 rebuilds per hour. Provided you have an install of Ruby 2 or better, including the development headers and library, the workflow is:
$ git clone https://github.com/supernemo-dbd/supernemo-dbd.github.io
$ cd supernemo-dbd.github.io
$ ./snjekyll serveThe last command will download and setup the local Jekyll instance, and start a local isolated webserver at http://127.0.0.1:4000. Simply point your favoured browser to this address to view the generated site.
The server runs in the foreground and watches the site sources for changes (for example, index.md). When a file changes, the server will rebuild the site automatically, so simply refresh your browser to see the resultant regenerated site. For example, try making some changes to index.md. The server may be shutdown at any point using Ctrl-C.
Further information on tasks available from snjekyll can be seen by running
$ ./snjekyll helpAlternately, if you already have a custom Ruby install, e.g. with Home/Linuxbrew you can do
$ git clone {{ site.github.repository_url }}
$ cd {{ site.github.repository_name }}
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll serveIn both workflows, the xz package installed by Home/Linuxbrew is not compatible with the nokogiri gem required by Jekyll, and will cause compiliation of the gem to fail. snjekyll will issue a warning about this, but will not take further action. To work around this issue, either do brew unlink xz or remove Home/Linuxbrew settings from your environment. The latter may not be possible if you have Homebrew installed in /usr/local
MathJax can support inline math, e.g. $$ 1/x^2 $$, and block equations:
like the above. Numbered equations, using the AMS math environment:
This should allow a reference (see Equation
Here's C++:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World\n";
}and some Python:
import os
print('Hello World')Having trouble with Pages? Check out our documentation or contact support and we’ll help you sort it out.
![The view from LSM]({{"assets/modane.jpg"| relative_url }})
As we prepare to take data, everyone is welcome and needed at LSM. You'll also all need to come here for your first shift! Here are some hints to ensure your trip is drama-free. If you have questions travel to LSM, contact Manu or Andrea.
- Read the LSM user guide in English or French. This includes details of the documents that any non-CNRS users need to send to LSM admin, including a scan of an ID document and a stamped and signed employer declaration.
- Read, sign and date the Code of conduct and send it to Silvia Scorza
- Make sure Manu and Andrea know when you are coming and which days you will be able to go underground at least 1 week in advance, so that they can add you to the LSM calendar and arrange for a driver. If you would like to eat lunch underground, let them know - but it can't be guaranteed, as it depends on driver schedules.
The cars going to the underground lab leave at 8:30am each day, so be sure to arrive at the surface lab on time. If you plan to stay all day, bring your own lunch - there's a fridge, microwave, kettle and espresso machine underground, as well as clean drinking water (in bottles). You'll need an approved driver to stay with you, so if no SuperNEMO driver will stay underground, you will need to negotiate with LSM.
If you are not eating lunch underground, you will leave for lunch on the surface by 11:30am. If returning to the tunnel for the afternoon, departure will be 1:30pm from the surface lab.
If you're staying late, you'll need to get permission from the lab management - your driver should be able to help you. The LSM drivers normally leave the underground lab for the evening at around 4:30 or 5pm, but if you have a SuperNEMO driver, you might be able to stay later.
Before you go underground for the first time, you will need to do some basic safety training, in case there is an emergency in the tunnel. Jean-Lou of LSM leads this training, and you will be able to do it very quickly in the morning before you go underground. You will also need to receive some security paperwork. To get all of this set up, let Valerie Favre know that you will be going underground for the first time.
You have a few options for accommodation in Modane. The cheapest option is to stay in the LSM dorms. There are 4 rooms in the basement of the surface lab. Each one has its own shower and toilet, and there is a shared kitchen which is stocked with basic cooking equipment. The dorm rooms cost EUR19 per night. To find out about availability and book a room, contact LSM.
Alternatively, people choose to stay in Modane itself (walking distance to the lab) or in the nearby ski resort of Aussois, a 10-15 minute drive from the lab. Some hotels we have tried:
- Hotel Le Commerce in Modane
- Les Voyageurs in Modane
- Les Mottets in Aussois
- Hotel du Soleil in Aussois
If a few people are travelling together outside peak vacation season, it may be possible to rent a chalet in Aussois - speak to Manu if you are interested.
Modane and Aussois both have restaurants, although some of them will be closed in the non-tourist season. Modane's gastronomic district (such as it is) is the street by the railway station. A few we like:
- Il Peppuccio Pizzeria in Modane. No trip to LSM is complete without a Peppuccio pizza. Veggie options available. Gluten-free possible but limited.
- L'Echappee A little more expensive, with French food including Alpine specialities. Go there when you want to celebrate.
- Pulcinella A pizzeria that is not Peppuccio. Sometimes open when Peppuccio is closed.
- Le Perce Neige Traditional food of the Savoie region. Lots of cheese. Feels like somebody's living room.
- L'international Turkish food. Exotic by Modane standards!
- Hotel de la Gare Sells crepes and galettes, among other things.
The easiest way to get to Modane is probably to fly to either Geneva or Lyon St-Exupery, and rent a car. It's around a 2.5-hour drive to the lab from either of these, mostly on motorways, although the travel time can vary significantly with traffic. There is parking at the lab and street parking near the hotels, though finding spaces in downtown Modane can be annoying.
The TGV from Paris Gare-de-Lyon to Turin stops in Modane, but the trains are not frequent. It's about a 4-hour ride from Paris. For more flexibility in timing, you can consider changing at Chambery and using a local train for the Alpine part of the trip. There is also a TGV from the Lyon airport - again, infrequent - if you don't want to drive. To get to Geneva airport by public transit, take the train to Chambery and then either a Flixbus direct to the airport, or train changing in Geneva central. You can book the trains on the SNCF website or app.
It is warm in the tunnel! Choose comfortable and cool clothing. Be sure to stay hydrated. (There is drinking water available underground.)
When you are underground, you must wear closed-toed shoes. No sandals!
There is no wi-fi underground, but you can connect to the internet using an ethernet cable (in the break room). You should turn off your phone or put it in airplane mode when you are underground, to protect other experiments in the lab.
