The second half of this workshop will provide an introduction and overview to the tools available on high-performance computing systems and how to use them effectively.
[//]: If you are already comfortable with command line and wish to skip the first half you may join for the {{late_start_episode.title}} at {% if hours < 10 %}0{% endif %}{{ hours}}:{% if minutes < 10 %}0{% endif %}{{ minutes }}
While we cover the bash essentials, we still recommend checking out the shell-novice lesson for a better foundation in bash. {: .prereq}
By the end of this workshop, students will know how to:
- Identify problems a cluster can help solve
- Use the UNIX shell (also known as terminal or command line) to operate a computer, connect to a cluster, and write simple shell scripts.
- Submit and manage jobs on a cluster using a scheduler, transfer files, and
- Use software through environment modules.
- Review and optimise job resource usage.
To get started, follow the directions in the "[Setup]( {{ page.root }}/setup.html)" tab and follow any installation instructions. {: .callout}
Note that this is the draft HPC Carpentry release. Comments and feedback are welcome.
This is a hands on workshop, excersises will generally depend on the previous steps having been completed, so it is important to keep up!
