[LA-SiGMA] HPC Training: Introduction to HPC

[Alexander Pacheco]

Dear All,

Our first HPC training will be held on Wednesday, Sep. 4 at 9:00 AM in 
307 Frey and broadcast through Adobe Connect for remote users.

Wednesday, Sep. 4, 2013: Introduction to High Performance Computing, 
Accounts and Allocations
This training will introduce you to HPC resources for research and 
concepts needed to use these resources. You do not need to have a LONI 
or LSU HPC account to attend this training. Instructions for requesting 
accounts and allocations will be provided in this training.
/This training is mandatory for new and prospective users./

Next HPC Training:
Wednesday, Sep. 11, 2013: Introduction to Linux
The aim of this training is to get users familiar with using Linux 
systems e.g. the HPC resources. This training will cover basic linux 
commands and editors (emacs and vi) on Linux systems. Anyone who is 
interested in learning about using a Linux based computer is encouraged 
to attend. If you are not familiar with using a Linux system 
particularly creating/writing files then this course is a prerequisite 
for the forthcoming training on User Environment and Shell Scripting.
/This training is mandatory for HPC users who not familiar with using a 
Linux/Unix system./

/Beginning Fall 2013, we are experimenting with a change in format for 
the first five Weekly Trainings due to frequent requests from attendees 
for longer time slots to complete hands-on exercises. Trainings begin at 
9AM until Noon or earlier. After a break for lunch, attendees are 
welcome to sit in 307 Frey to complete the hands-on exercises until 4PM. 
HPC User Services Consultants will be available to help out with 
exercises, answers questions related to the morning training session and 
also provide general consultation (topics unrelated to the training) on 
a case-by-case basis. If the new schedule works, we will be continuing 
with this new format for all following weekly trainings. Attending the 
afternoon session is optional, however, we would like to get feedback 
from attendees if the new format is beneficial or not./
