[LA-SiGMA] HPC Training: Shell Scripting 2

[Feng Chen]

Dear All,

The Schedule for the Spring 2015 HPC Training is available at http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/tutorials.php.

Our next HPC training will be held on Wednesday, Mar. 4 at 9:30 AM in 307 Frey and broadcast through Adobe Connect for remote users. Note that all HPC trainings will start at 9:30AM.

Wednesday, Mar. 4, 2015: Shell Scripting 2
For anyone who works in a Linux/Unix environment, a working knowledge of shell scripting is essential and will boost their efficiency and productivity tremendously. For this tutorial, we will focus on bash as it is one of the most popular shells. This two part tutorial will include topics such as creating simple bash scripts, flow control, command line arguments, regex, grep, awk and sed. This is a practical tutorial, so we will provide examples and/or hands-on exercises for most of the covered materials.
Prerequisites: Basic Knowledge of Linux/UNIX environment including basic shell scripting (creating and editing files, changing file permissions and executing scripts from command line). You are expected to be familiar with emacs or vi editor. No help will be provided in this class with using these or any other editors. Please complete the vim tutorial exercise in Introduction To Linux.

Next HPC Training:

Wednesday, Mar. 11, 2015: Introduction to Numerical Libraries
Numerical libraries provide useful functions or subroutines for programmers. There are many advantages of using existing libs in programming. It not only saves your time and efforts, but also makes your codes more efficient and more portable. An introduction to notable numerical libs will be covered in this training. Topics will include several serial and parallel libraries such as lapack, fftw, gsl and petsc. Hands-on exercises are provided for using several classical numerical routines, such as solving linear systems, fast Fourier transform and least-squares fitting.
Prerequisites: LONI or LSU HPC account, SSH client such as Putty for Windows, Basic use of compilers (Intel or GNU) is assumed but not required.
