Welcome and Introductions
Welcome to this introduction to HPC training.
Our HPC environment is like your digital lab space. Depending on what you are doing and who you’re doing it with, we have a few different lab spaces (or “clusters”) for you to work in.
| Cluster | Use case |
|---|---|
| Sumhpc | General Purpose Research |
| Winhpc | GPU-based Research |
| Other | Scientific Services Use Only |
This training will cover:
- How to connect to our HPC environment
- HPC architecture
- Types of software used
- Slurm basics
- Initial job profiling
What about when I have questions later?
We are going to direct you to lots of places to gather information.
- Tutorials
- Manpages
- Community channels
- Cheat sheets
Knowledge Checks
Throughout, we will be asking you a few knowledge questions. Don’t think of them as a pop quiz, instead think of them like this:
- They highlight the take home message
- In the moment feedback for you on what you understand or don’t
- In the moment feedback for us on whether we’re being clear or not
- An opportunity to be interactive
