[LA-SIGMA] HPC Training: Introduction to Linux

[Feng Chen]

Dear All,

The schedule for the Summer 2023 HPC Training is available at http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/tutorials.php.

Our first HPC training will be held on Wednesday, June 28 at 9:00 AM. All training sessions are Zoom online events from 9:00AM to 11:00AM. The sessions will be recorded for later review.

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

Wednesday, June 28, 2023: 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 HPC User Environment 1 & 2.
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), Mac OSX and Windows with Cygwin or Bash installed.

Next HPC Trainings:

Wednesday, July 12, 2023: HPC User Environment 1, Job Management on HPC Clusters
Wednesday, July 26, 2023: HPC User Environment 2, Job Management on HPC Clusters
This training provides an overview of the HPC/LONI general account and allocation policies, hardware and software environments, queuing system, compiling programs, writing submit scripts, running and monitoring jobs on HPC systems.
This training is a *mandatory* two-day training event for all HPC/LONI new users held on July 12 and July 26.
Prerequisite: Familiarity with Linux/Unix commands and editors.

Wednesday, July 19, 2023: 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: Access to a Linux/Unix based environment, i.e. Linux (VirtualBox images), Mac OSX and Windows with Cygwin or Bash installed.
