Getting started on a High Performance Computing cluster, such as Alpine, can be a daunting task for the uninitiated. Join us for this two-part RC Short Course* where we will cover the basics!
Part 1 of this series will discuss the fundamentals of Linux and bash scripting. Topics will include: Linux commands, navigation of a Linux file-system, the Linux environment, creation of bash scripts, and more! You can expect to leave this training with a solid understanding of basic Linux principles and commands.
Part 2 of this series will discuss the fundamentals of job submission. Topics will include: a breakdown of Alpine’s hardware, submitting batch jobs, beginning interactive jobs, and submitting existing scripts to the cluster. You can expect to leave this training with a solid understanding of how to submit different types of jobs to Alpine.
In order to follow along with the hands-on component of this workshop, you’ll want to have a research computing account. If you need assistance with this, you can attend the RC Quick Byte - Getting a Research Computing Account, or attend CRDDS Office Hours. Additionally, we will hold Office Hours immediately following this training for any follow-up questions.
