Intro to HPC

Stanford Research Computing will be offering an Introduction to High Performance Computing course based the Software Carpentries curriculum Wednesday, October 23 1-3pm.  This course will be a brief introduction to fundamental HPC concepts.  Topics include:

• Connecting to a remote HPC system
• Scheduler Fundamentals
• How to submit a SLURM job
• Accessing software via Modules
• Transferring files with remote computers
• Using resources effectively

Only basic Linux shell (command line) knowledge is used for the course.  Going though this tutorial will be very helpful: https://www.hpc-carpentry.org/hpc-shell/

Please note:  This class is for people who are beginners to HPC and SLURM. We will not be going into a deep dive on SLURM or sbatch directives. The class is not for people who already have HPC/SLURM experience. Some Linux command line experience with navigating the filesystem (ls, and cd commands) and editing files (nano) is required.  A full service SUNetID is required for this class.
