Training Sessions
The GACRC regularly hosts training sessions on a number of subjects relevant to the use of our computational and storage resources. Scheduled trainings will be announced through the GACRC mailing list.
NOTE: New users are required to attend an introductory training session and information about that will be sent once an account is requested.
Event Announcement
The GACRC is going to host ten training workshop in March of 2016. These workshops will provide an introduction to the GACRC Linux high performance computing (HPC) clusters and the Linux basics. We have two Linux practice sessions for GACRC users to obtain Linux hands-on working experiences. We have two topical sessions focusing on the NCBI Blast software on zcluster and scientific Python basics.
Training Location
Davison Life Sciences Complex (Life Science Building), Room C128, 120 East Green St, Athens, GA 30602

Common practices on Linux shell scripting
Common Linux utilities, e.g., sort, find, grep, awk, and sed etc.
Title: Linux Hands-on Practice Session (Basic Linux knowledge required)
Focus:
Hands-on practice on Linux common commands and shell scripting with common Linux utilities, e.g., sort, find, grep, awk, and sed etc.
Hands-on practice on the work flow of job submission on zcluster with make_escratch, qsub, qstat,and qdel etc.
Title: Introduction to GACRC Storage Environment
Focus:
Overview of Linux common commands related to file and folder operations
Overview of the storage enviornment of zcluster and the new cluster at GACRC
How to transfer data between local and GACRC storage
New file transfer node xfer2 and how to use it to transfer data between zcluster and the new cluster
GACRC suggestions on good practices on GACRC storage, etc;
Title: Software installation on zcluster
Focus:
Current status of software on zcluster; What GACRC have now and what should users install
How to obtain, install, organize software by users; What about databases
How to validate the software installation
How to trouble shoot installation, software errors, script errors, data errors, format errors, etc.
How to get help from GACRC and Common problems/mistakes
Title: NCBI Blast application on zcluster
Focus:
Introduction to BLAST
BLAST job submission to zcluster
Advantages & Disadvantages: NCBI website vs run at zcluster.
BLAST output
Troubleshooting the BLAST results
How to Register
If you would like to attend, please respond by email to: zhuofei@uga.edu or pakala@uga.edu. Also please tell us which session you want to attend.
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. You are welcome and encouraged to attend those workshops to learn about how to work with the HPC clusters at the GACRC.
The GACRC is going to host other training workshops and seminars covering various HPC topics, including HPC introduction, Linux working environment and utilities (Linux Part III), Bioinfomatics applications, scientific programming, etc., in the near future. We will announce those events when they are scheduled.
The GACRC Web Training page can be found at http://gacrc.uga.edu/help/training/ and the GACRC Wiki Training page can be found at https://wiki.gacrc.uga.edu/wiki/Training, from which you can find detailed information about upcoming and past training sessions from GACRC and download training materials.
