Online training seminar: An introduction to the UNIX/LINUX command-line, 24 September at 14:00
This training seminar provides a first introduction to the UNIX/LINUX environment. It is aimed at new users of UNIX and will discuss UNIX skills required to work on a typical HPC cluster, such as provided by SNIC and LUNARC. Topics include manipulating files and directories, editing file contents and the development of simple scripts, such as required for job submission.
Time: 24th September at 14:00

Online training seminar: Cluster architecture and job submission, 8 October 2020 at 14:00
This event explains key features of a contemporary HPC cluster, such as deployed at LUNARC and throughout SNIC. It will explain the principles behind the job scheduler and how the scheduler can be used to accomplish your computational work in an efficient manner. The examples will utilise the SLURM scheduler, which is deployed on the SNIC resources.
Time: 8 October at 14:00
