Overview

This workshop is targeted at new users of the University's High Performance Computing (HPC) resources (Zaratan and Juggernaut clusters), especially those with limited or no HPC experience.

This course will introduce participants to the basics of high-performance computing (HPC), and will briefly cover:

  • general HPC concepts, terminology, etc.
  • accessing the cluster
  • accessing software installed on the cluster
  • transferring files
  • submitting jobs on the cluster

Much of the above tasks will be discussed in terms of the recently added OnDemand web portal for the cluster.
The OnDemand web portal offers unexperienced users an efficient way to accomplish most practical tasks.

Prerequisites

None. This is an introductory workshop and is targetted at new users of the cluster, so no previous knowledge of high performance computing is assumed.

System Requirements

The classroom provides 55 seats. This is a bring-your-own-laptop event. Make sure that a terminal application (e.g. ssh or PuTTY) is installed. A modern web browser (on Windows preferably Firefox) is required for use of the OnDemand web portal.

Miscellaneous Details

While the official registration deadline is 28 May 2023, we are limiting this workshop to 55 participants on a first-come, first-served basis, and registration will close once the workshop is full.

NOTE: DIT reserves the right to cancel the workshop for any reason with little notice --- if the workshop is cancelled by DIT any and all registration fees will be refunded.
