Introduction To HPC

Join Monash eResearch for an introductory course on High-Performance Computing.

This workshop will provide an overview of what a High-Performance Computing system looks like. Users will get hands-on experience with a small cluster, and learn how to use Linux command-line tools to write Slurm scripts which they can submit as simple batch jobs. After the workshop, users will be able to use what they learn on much bigger systems.

The environment and tools that will be taught and used in the workshop include:

• What's a computer cluster and the purpose of using it?
• How to access a cluster and what are the best practices.
• Slurm (job scheduler) commands.
• How to submit a job script.
