HPC 100: Introducing the Linux command line for high performance computing — October 7

Here’s an opportunity to learn basic Linux command line skills in an HPC setting.  This course will familiarize the student with the basics of accessing and interacting with high-performance computers using the GNU/Linux operating system’s command line. Topics include: a brief overview of Linux, the command shell, navigating the file system, basic commands, shell redirection, permissions, processes, and the command environment.  Basic Linux command-line skills are a pre-requisite for HPC 101 and HPC 201, as the Flux cluster is implemented on Linux. If you are unfamiliar with the Linux command line, or want to brush up on your skills, this course is for you. The class will be offered Monday, October 7, from 1 – 3 PM in Room B735 East Hall.  Full details at http://unix.lsa.umich.edu/HPC100/ .

We plan on teaching this course again next term, so folks can take it later if they can’t make it this time.Please forward this to your researchers who are using or contemplating using Flux for their research.  We think graduate students will want to attend, and faculty and admins are certainly welcome as well.
