1.2.2 For Organized Tutorial Participants

If you're participating in an organized tutorial, most of the preparatory work will have been done in advance by the tutorial instructors. Usually, they will provide you with a separate set of instructions tailored to the arrangements for the particular tutorial you're attending.

Getting Connected:

Look to the separate handout or the tutorial instructors for details of your account, your machine assignment, etc. Appendix D should give you sufficient information to get logged in to the remote machine. If you have any problems, ask the tutorial instructors.

Preparing the CCA Environment:

In this case, the CCA tools (Ccaffeine , Babel , and Bocca ) will already have been built in a common area. The handout or tutorial instructors will provide you with the procedures you might need to follow to setup your environment (the PATH and other environment variables). Some general notes can be found in Section E.4.

Building the Tutorial Code:

Once again, the tutorial code will already have been built in a central location, and the details will be noted on the handout.

Tip In some of the later exercises (starting with Section 4), you will need to build your own copy of (parts of) the tutorial code tree so that you can modify them. Depending on your hardware environment, this may be pretty time consuming. If you're pressed for time you may want to go ahead and start building your own copy of the PDE and then ODE portions of the tutorial code tree before starting the first exercise. Follow the instructions in Appendix F, and you probably want to launch the build in a separate window. The tutorial instructors should be able to tell you whether this ``pre-build'' step is necessary.
