About this Event:
If your desktop system is too slow for your ""big datasets"" or the problems too complex, High Performance Computing (HPC) is the tool you need. At the University of Melbourne we have a general purpose HPC system, Spartan, which is available to researchers. This introductory course will provide an overview of this systems and the Linux command-line, use environmental modules, how to write Slurm script so you can submit data or task parallel jobs, and with plenty of ""hands-on"" examples of running with research applications. Bring a laptop and a desire to learn about supercomputers. You will need an SSH client to access Spartan. If you are using Linux and MacOS there should be one built-in. If you are using MS-Windows an option such as Putty (http://putty.org) is recommended.
