[LA-SIGMA] HPC Training: Introduction to GNU Parallel

[Feng Chen]

Dear All,

The schedule for the Spring 2024 HPC Training is available at http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/tutorials.php.

Our next HPC training will be held on Wednesday, March 27 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.

March 27,2024: Introduction to GNU Parallel
In scientific computation disciplines, such as bioinformatics and computational biology, many computational tools are serial in nature. To effectively run many serial jobs simultaneously on multi-core HPC platform can be challenging. GNU Parallel is an easy to use and also powerful tool for executing commands/tasks in parallel on one or multiple host machines. This training will introduce GNU Parallel and its basic features. Hand-on, real-world examples will be demonstrated on how to run different types of massive individual tasks using GNU Parallel.
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of HPC environment and Linux is preferred but not required.

Next HPC Training:

April 03,2024: Open OnDemand: Interactive HPC via the Web
This training will provide an introduction to Open OnDemand, a browser based tool now available to all LSU HPC users on campus. Open OnDemand requires only a web browser (no plug-ins) and an HPC account. It features a file browser, command line shell access, job management, and access to interactive Jupyter notebooks and RStudio servers running interactively on HPC cluster's compute nodes. This training will feature an overview of Open OnDemand, and a demonstration of all it's features, including Jupyter Notebook and RStudio.
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of HPC environment and Linux is preferred but not required.
