Advanced Research Computing Training Program
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.
