HPC 101: High Performance Computing Workshop — May 19

Here’s an opportunity for Flux cluster users and potential users to learn about using the Flux computing cluster.  This will be a hands-on experience, in which you will log in to the cluster and work with jobs. HPC 101 1 – 5 p.m., May 19 B745 East Hall (530 Church St.) Instructor: Dr. Charles Antonelli, Advocacy and Research Support Group, LSA-IT HPC 101 (prerequisite is HPC100 or equivalent): This course will provide an overview of cluster computing in general and how to use the U-M Flux Cluster in particular.
