The CCAST Advanced Research Computing Training Program is offering a pair of free workshops to introduce faculty, staff, and students to High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources available at NDSU. The program aims to provide researchers with basic knowledge and hands-on skills that will help them make the best use of local and national HPC facilities to advance their research capabilities.

For Fall 2024, we will be offering two workshops:

• Workshop 1: Introduction to High Performance Computing (HPC)
  Friday, Nov. 8, 2:30–4:00 PM.
  
  
• Workshop 2: HPC Job Submission and Troubleshooting
  Friday, Nov. 15, 2:30–4:00 PM.

Workshops will be offered in-person in AG HILL 240 and will cover the following topics:

• Introduction to HPC
• Anatomy of a supercomputer
• Logging into CCAST HPC clusters
• Interacting with a text-based terminal
• Basic Linux/UNIX commands
• Finding available scientific software
• Submitting jobs to run on HPC clusters
• Monitoring and troubleshooting HPC jobs
• Getting help

In person attendance is highly recommended, but for those who cannot attend in-person, Zoom links and recordings will be made available.
