Introduction to HPC

Tuesday, Sept. 20, 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m.

Online

This core session is designed to help new users at ACENET and Digital Research Alliance of Canada get up and running.

What is high performance computing (HPC) and what can it do for me? How can ACENET help? Used by researchers across many disciplines to tackle analyses too large or complex for a desktop, or to achieve improved efficiency over a desktop, this session takes participants through the preliminary stages of learning about high performance computing (HPC) and computing clusters, and how to get started with this type of computing. It then reviews software packages available for applications, data analysis, software development and compiling code. Finally, participants will be introduced to the concept of parallel computing to achieve much faster results in analysis. This session is designed for those with no prior experience in HPC, and are looking for an introduction and overview.

Participants must register using their institutional / organizational email address (not a personal email, ie. gmail).
