Description

Did you know that students and faculty at FSU have access to a very powerful research compute cluster?

This workshop will cover the basics of using the High Performance Computing cluster (HPC) to run computing jobs. It is a great introduction for users new to the HPC or those who wish to brush up on current best-practices and workflows for using the HPC at FSU.

Specifically, this workshop will cover:

• How the HPC works
• What the Slurm Scheduler is and how to use it
• Slurm job submission and job management commands
• How to run compute jobs on the HPC

How to Prepare:

Before the workshop begins, be sure that you have installed a secure shell (SSH client) on your computer.  If you have a Mac or Linux computer, an SSH client is already built into the operating system.  If you have a Windows computer, refer to our instructions for how to setup an SSH client.

We encourage you to sign-up for an RCC account on our website prior to enrollment if you want to follow along interactively. However, this is not a necessity to follow the course.
