This two-day course introduces accessing remote advanced computing facilities via the command line and High Performance Computing (HPC). The first day will introduce how to use the shell in a HPC context. The second day will cover how to use HPC systems effectively. Please note that the first day is optional in case you’re already familiar with the shell.

After completing this course, participants will:

• Understand motivations for using HPC in research.
• Understand how HPC systems are put together to achieve performance and how they differ from desktops/laptops.
• Know how to connect to remote HPC systems and transfer data.
• Be able to use the Bash command line on remote systems.
• Know how to use a scheduler to work on a shared system.
• Be able to use software modules to access different HPC software.
• Be able to work effectively on a remote shared resource.

 

This course will take place face-to-face at Wall Bank Lecture Room (also known as SACE WBLT), School for Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology building, 12 Abercromby Square, Liverpool L69 7WZ
