3. A short introduction of Nerdalize

5. Cloud is the steam engine of the 21st century

6. Cloud is the steam engine of the 21st century

7. The Nerdalize benefits
The World
saves on energy
3t CO2/yr
per household
Home Owner
saves on heating

Cloud User
reduces cloud costs
30% - 50%

8. How can the cloud benefit you?
1. Providing you with much compute capacity;
2. at great price / performance;
3. without vendor lock-in;
4. and being easy to use.

15. Workshop

16. Interactive workshop
1. Getting to know each other
2. Setup
3. Running Delft3D in Docker
4. Running Delft3D (in Docker) on Nerdalize

17. Getting to know each other
● Who is running Windows / macOS / linux?
● Who works with Delft3D?
● Who has ever worked with Docker?

18. Setup
1. Install Docker
2. Download Delft3D example dataset

19. Running Delft3D in Docker

20. What is Docker?
“Docker containers wrap up a piece of software in
a complete filesystem that contains everything it
needs to run: code, runtime, system tools, system
libraries – anything you can install on a server. This
guarantees that it will always run the same,
regardless of the environment it is running in.”

21. What is Docker?
File
System
Runtime

22. What is Docker?

23. What is Docker?

24. Why use Docker?
1. Deterministic software configuration
2. Portable (Across computers and to the Cloud)
3. Easy to share and collaborate on
4. Quick to start and extend

25. Simple as that
docker run
-v ~/my-dataset:/input
-v ~/simulation-output:/output
quay.io/nerdalize/delft3d

26. Running Delft3D on Nerdalize

27. Running Delft3D on Nerdalize
1. Upload your input dataset
2. Run the Docker container on Nerdalize
○ Scale up to 8 vCPU for demo
○ Could scale up to hundreds of vCPUs in real-world cases
3. Download your output dataset
