Description
The course aims to give an introductory overview of High Performance Computing (HPC) in general, and of the facilities of the High Performance Computing Service (HPCS) available at the University of Cambridge.
Practical examples of using the HPCS clusters will be used throughout, although it is hoped that much of the content will have applicability to systems elsewhere.
Prerequisites
- Novice users of HPC and anyone who expects to need to use HPC systems at some stage in their research
- Attendance at a Unix introductory course (or equivalent knowledge) such as Introduction to Unix Shell (face to face) or Unix: Introduction to the Command Line Interface (Self-paced)
- It is desirable to have shell scripting experience equivalent to Unix: Simple Shell Scripting for Scientists
