Advanced HPC-CI Webinar Series: R for HPC

We will focus on (1) R package management and user environment configuration on the HPC cluster and (2) understanding the R parallelism in HPC, such as using the "parallel" package in R and a few related packages to parallelize and enhance the performance of R programs.

COMPLECS: Linux Tools for Text Processing

An overview of commonly used Linux tools for searching and manipulating text. We progress from the simplest tools, such as head, tail, cut, paste, to more complex tools grep, awk and sed.

COMPLECS: Data Transfer

Efficiently transferring data is a critical part of building research workflows, whether working with experimental or simulated data on local or high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Here, we introduce key concepts and command-line tools for data transfer, including how to verify data integrity, use compression, and select appropriate transfer methods based on data size, location, and organization.

Data Storage and File Systems

High-performance computing (HPC) systems use various specialized storage and file systems, each with different performance levels and best-use scenarios. Here, we explain how to properly use these systems for your research. We also introduce common filesystems, their architectures, appropriate I/O patterns, and key Linux tools for managing storage usage, backups, and file permissions.

Remote event

Using Regular Expressions with Linux Tools

Essentials of using regular expressions (regexes) with the Linux tools grep, awk and sed. Topics include quantifiers, wildcards, grouping, alternation, word boundaries, lazy and greedy matching and regex flavors. Attendees should at least be familiar with grep.

Remote event

Code Migration

This session introduces key strategies for transitioning computations to HPC systems, including using pre-installed software, compiling code with appropriate tools, and setting up Python, R, and conda environments. It also covers workflow management and introduces containerized solutions with Singularity, featuring hands-on practice on SDSC resources.
