# Jupyter examples on merlin6

These examples demonstrate the use of certain python libraries and modules in the merlin6 environment. They are provided to get you started fast. You can check out a repository of the examples from

<https://git.psi.ch/lsm-hpce/merlin6-jupyterhub-examples>

A number of standard data sets for the tutorials of the libraries are hosted on merlin6 centrally under `/data/project/general/public`, so you do not need to store them in your user space.

## Dask

  [Dask](https://dask.org/) is a flexible library for parallel computing in Python. It provides the abstraction of a dask dataframe that can reside on multiple machines and can be manipulated by an API designed to be as close as possible to [pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/). The example shows how to start up dask workers on merlin6 through slurm.

* The data sets for the [dask tutorial](https://github.com/dask/dask-tutorial) are hosted at `/data/project/general/public/dask-tutorial`.

## Plotly

[Plotly](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/) is an interactive open source plotting library
