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
Dear GACRC Users,
The GACRC is going to host six training workshops in January 2016 at Life Sciences Building, room C128. The six workshops will provide an introduction to the GACRC Linux high performance computing (HPC) clusters and the Linux basics. We also offer a Linux practice session for GACRC users to obtain Linux hands-on working experiences.

Who Should Attend
New HPC cluster and zcluster users, or researchers who are interested in learning about the GACRC computing resources and Linux basics (Linux OS, Linux filesystem, shell, and common commands, scripting, etc.).
Topic Introduction
Title: Introduction to HPC Using the New Cluster at GACRC
Focus:
What's the new cluster at GACRC
New cluster's current computing resources
New cluster software environment
How to operate with the new cluster
How to work with the new cluster, e.g., how to run interactive jobs; how to run batch jobs; how to make job submission scripts and request computing resources; how to check job status, etc.
Title: Introduction to HPC Using zcluster at GACRC
Focus:
What's zcluster at GACRC
zcluster current computing resources
zcluster software environment
How to work with zcluster, e.g., how to run interactive jobs; how to run batch jobs and request computing resources; how to make job submission scripts; how to check job status, etc.
Title: Introduction to Linux Basics Part-I
Focus:
Linux OS and brief history
Linux command, filesystem, and shell
Linux common commands, 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.
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.
