2021 HPC User Training Series

Registration deadline: January 30, 2021

SDSC supports the training of its user community, including students, in all aspects of high-performance computing (HPC). The goal of the training is to prepare new HPC users to run jobs on HPC systems. The sessions are designed to introduce participants to a variety of HPC topics and skill development activities. This years agenda includes:

Session #1: January 22, 2021 - March 12, 2021

• 1/22/2021: Program Orientation, history, plan ; Registration process & accounts; HPC overview & Expanse Architecture
• 1/29/2021: Parallel Queues & batch scripting; intro to applications (hello world, 2Djacobian)
