Title: '''Introduction to HPC Using zcluster at GACRC'''
===Linux Training for Linux-inexperienced Cluster New Users===
The Sapelo2 High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster runs a headless Linux distribution as the operating system on each of its constituent nodes. The term headless refers to the fact that these nodes do not have a desktop graphical user interface (GUI) installed by default. Graphical desktop environments consume resources that analyses could otherwise use, so users employ a command-line interface (CLI) instead. To interact with these resources, users connect to a remote terminal via SSH and execute commands.


Date: August 24th, 2015, Monday
The Linux Training workshop provides hands-on practice of the fundamental Linux commands necessary to interact with HPC resources.


Time: 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
'''Prerequisite:''' Please watch the introductory videos on Linux, basic Linux terms, and Linux Paths and Directories (total ~17 minutes) '''before attending the training workshop'''.

===Using Sapelo2 Cluster at the GACRC, Part II===
'''Prerequisites:'''
* Linux basics. A Linux-inexperienced user must complete a prerequisite Linux training for Linux-inexperienced cluster new users.
* Sapelo2 cluster new user training.  Fundamental HPC and Sapelo2 knowledge is required for this advanced Sapelo2 workshop.


If you would like to attend, please respond by email to: '''zhuofei@uga.edu'''. Also please tell us which session you want to attend.
'''Training Goals:'''


We have 25 seats in the lab room, so we have a 25 user/workshop limit. Please respond at your earliest convenience to register to guarantee your seat.
1. Learn about high-performance computing framework


You are welcome and encouraged to attend those workshops to learn about how to work with the HPC clusters at the GACRC.
2. Why is my job pending? How can I get my job to start sooner? How to find available computing resources on Sapelo2?


3. How to request computing resources such as nodes, CPU cores, memory, GPU device, etc. to run serial, threaded, MPI, and GPU jobs on Sapelo2?


The GACRC is going to host other training workshops and seminars covering various HPC topics, including GACRC HPC storage environment, Linux shell and shell scripting (Linux Basics, Part II), scientific programming languages, etc., in the near future. We will announce those events when they are scheduled.
4. How can I make my job run more efficiently (through the correct use of software and hardware)?

Linux Training for Linux-inexperienced Cluster New Users

The Sapelo2 High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster runs a headless Linux distribution as the operating system on each of its constituent nodes. The term headless refers to the fact that these nodes do not have a desktop graphical user interface (GUI) installed by default. Graphical desktop environments consume resources that analyses could otherwise use, so users employ a command-line interface (CLI) instead. To interact with these resources, users connect to a remote terminal via SSH and execute commands.

The Linux Training workshop provides hands-on practice of the fundamental Linux commands necessary to interact with HPC resources.

Prerequisite: Please watch the introductory videos on Linux, basic Linux terms, and Linux Paths and Directories (total ~17 minutes) before attending the training workshop.

Training Goals:

1. Understand fundamental concepts of Linux working environment (filesystem hierarchy, path, PATH, etc.)

2. Know how to use Linux common commands (ls, cd, pwd, cat, more, nano, mkdir, rm, cp, mv, etc.)

3. Understand what is Linux bash shell and know how to make a simple Linux script and run it in Linux environment

Title Date/Time
