[LA-SiGMA] HPC Training: Basic Shell Scripting

[Feng Chen]

Dear All,

The schedule for the Spring 2017 HPC Training is available at http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/tutorials.php.

Our next HPC training will be held on Wednesday, February 15 at 9:00 AM in 307 Frey Computing Service Center and broadcast through WebEx for remote users.

Note that all HPC training will start at 9:00 AM.

Wednesday, February 15, 2017: Basic Shell Scripting
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 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: LONI or LSU HPC account, Familiarity with Linux/Unix, Editors such as vi or emacs, SSH client such as Putty/MobaXterm for Windows

Wednesday, February 22, 2017: Parallel Serial Jobs Using GNU Parallel
In scientific disciplines, such as bioinformatics and computational biology, many computational tools are serial in nature. To effectively run more than one serial jobs simultaneously on a HPC platform can be challenging. GNU Parallel is a great tool for executing commands/tasks in parallel on one or multiple machines; it is also relatively easy to use. This training will introduce GNU Parallel and its basic features. Hand-on examples will be used to demonstrate how to parallel serial, multi-threads and MPI jobs using GNU Parallel.
Prerequisites: Beginner level knowledge of shell scripting and PBS job submission is assumed, but not required.

Users who plan on joining remotely will be provided with a WebEx Link in their registration confirmation email. Please see the system requirements at https://grok.lsu.edu/Categories.aspx?parentCategoryId=3381.

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

Thanks,
