[LA-SiGMA] HPC Training: Introduction to Linux

[Alexander Pacheco]

Dear All,

The next HPC training will be held on Wednesday, Sep. 11 at 9:00 AM in 
307 Frey and broadcast through Adobe Connect for remote users.

Wednesday, Sep. 11, 2013: Introduction to Linux
Schedule:
Training Lecture: 9AM - Noon
Hands-On and Consultation: 1PM - 4PM
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, editors (emacs and vi) on Linux systems and writing and 
executing simple bash scripts. Anyone who is interested in learning 
about using a Linux/Unix based computer is encouraged to attend. If you 
are not familiar with using a Linux system particularly editing 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 are not familiar with 
using a Linux/Unix system./
*Prerequisite: Access to a Linux/Unix based computer i.e. Linux 
(VirtualBox images provided at HPC website), Mac OSX and Windows with 
Cygwin and Bash installed.*

Next HPC Training:
Wednesday, Sep. 18, 2013: HPC User Environment, Job Management with 
PBS/Loadleveler
Schedule:
Training Lecture: 9AM - Noon
Hands-On and Consultation: 1PM - 4PM
/This training provides an overview of the software environment, queuing 
system and running and monitoring jobs on HPC systems. This training is 
mandatory for new users./
*Prerequisite: **LONI or LSU HPC account (No Training Accounts will be 
provided)**and Familiarity with Linux/Unix OS.*

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 or join remotely via adobe connect to 
complete the hands-on exercises until 4PM. HPC User Services Consultants 
will be available to help out with the exercises, answers questions 
related to the morning training session and also provide in person 
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.

Users who plan on joining remotely will be provided with an Adobe 
Connect Link in their registration confirmation email. Please see the 
system requirements at

Please distribute to faculty, staff and students that might be 
interested in these trainings.

Thanks,
Alex
