Getting started with HPC using PBS Pro at NCI Online

NCIhttps://opus.nci.org.au/display/Help/NCI+Training+and+Educational+EventsThe National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) is Australia's leading high-performance data, storage and computing organisation, providing expert services to benefit all domains of science, government and industry. NCI aims to deliver to the Australian research sector the computational capability and enhanced services it needs to achieve transformational outcomes benefiting Australia's industry, environment, research sector, public policy formulation and Australian society more broadly.Intersecthttps://intersect.org.au/trainingIntersect is a pivotal part of Australian research landscape. We provide robust, innovative services and collaborative technology to support world-class research at our member organisations and in the wider research community.Intersect delivers data storage, compute and analysis platforms, custom engineering, expert consulting and training programs to thousands of researchers every year.Intersect works closely with the ARDC (Australian Research Data Commons) built from ANDS, Nectar, and RDS. Intersect is also a member of the Software Carpentry Foundation, the NCI (National Computational Infrastructure) and the AAF (Australian Access Federation).

Are your analysis scripts pushing your laptop&#x27;s processor to its limits? Is your software crashing because you&#x27;ve run out of memory? Would you like to unleash to power of the Unix command line to automate and run your analysis on supercomputers that you can access for free?</p><p>High-Performance Computing (HPC) allows you to accomplish your analysis faster by using many parallel CPUs and huge amounts of memory simultaneously. This course provides a hands on introduction to running software on HPC infrastructure using PBS Pro.</p><p></p><h3>This course will be run over two half days:</h3><ul><li>1:30 pm - 4:45 pm on 8 Nov 2021</li><li>9:30 am - 12:45 pm on 9 Nov 2021</li></ul><p></p><h3>You’ll learn:</h3><ul><li>Connect to an HPC cluster</li><li>Use the Unix command line to operate a remote computer and create job scripts</li><li>Submit and manage jobs on a cluster using a scheduler</li><li>Transfer files to and from a remote computer</li><li>Use software through environment modules</li><li>Use parallelisation to speed up data analysis</li><li>Access the facilities available to you as a researcher</li></ul><h3></h3><h3>Prerequisites</h3><p>This course assumes basic familiarity with the Bash command line environment found on GNU/Linux and other Unix-like environments.
