Description

Online Workshop on Linux and HPC

In this two-day online course, we will cover the basics of Linux and High Performance Computing. After its conclusion, participants will have a basic understanding and knowledge of:

  • Working within a Linux environment.
  • Analyzing and visualize data.
  • Tools to connect to remote clusters.
  • The basics of using a computational cluster.

The workshop will be practical with introductory explanations. Participants will set up their PCs to connect to a cluster where the course will take place. We recommend using a stable connection such as Ethernet cable.
