Dear All,

The schedule for the Spring 2018 HPC Training is available at http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/tutorials.php.

Our next HPC training will be held on Wednesday, March 07 at 9:00 AM in 307 Frey Computing Service Center and broadcast through WebEx for remote users.

Wednesday, March 07, 2018: Hands-On Practice Session
This special training session will provide hands-on exercises demonstrating real world, very typical examples of using Linux, writing shell scripts and submitting jobs to the HPC clusters. We will also focus on different scenarios of running serial or parallel jobs typically encountered in users' routine job submissions. At the end of the training, attendees will be comfortable with running example jobs scripts and learn how to adapt these examples into their own domain specific tasks. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own job scripts or problems to the training session.
Prerequisites: Previous knowledge of Linux, basic shell scripting, HPC user environment 1 and 2 are assumed but not required.
