Intro HPC

 Using the VSC HPC infrastructure is not rocket science, but there are a number of things you need to understand to do so effectively. This training will ensure that

• you know how to transfer data to and from VSC infrastructure, and where to store it;
• you know what software is available and how to use it;
• you know how to run computations on the infrastructure;
• you have some insight in using the infrastructure efficiently.

Prerequisites:

• You have experience with the Linux operating system (if not, follow the Intro Linux session).
• If you plan to use VSC infrastructure: ensure that you have an account prior to the training, see https://vlaams-supercomputing-centrum-vscdocumentation.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/access/getting_access.html for how to request one.
• Make sure you can log in, and bring your laptop.
