Intro to Scientific Computing / HPC Summer Kickstart
Remote / online
Kickstart is a three × half day course for researchers to get started with high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. The first day serves as a guide to your career: a map to the types of resources that are available and skills you may need in your career, so that you can be prepared when you need more in the future. This part is especially suitable to new researchers or students trying to understand computational/data analysis options available to them. It won’t go into anything too deep, but will provide you with a good background for your next steps: you will know what resources are available and know the next steps to use them.
The second and third days take you from being a new user to being competent to run your code at a larger scale than you could before. This part is good for any researcher who thinks they may need to scale up to larger resources in the next six months, in any field. Even if you don’t use computing clusters, you will be better prepared to understand how computing works on other systems. If you are a student, this is an investment in your skills. By the end of the course you get the hints, ready solutions and copy/paste examples on how to find, run and monitor your applications, and manage your data.
