High Performance Computing User Training

Are you finding that your computer's limitations are holding back your research? Do your analysis scripts strain your laptop's processor, or does your software crash due to insufficient memory?

Imagine being able to harness the power of supercomputers, accessible for free, to automate and run your analyses. High-Performance Computing (HPC) makes this a reality, allowing you to process data and accomplish your analysis significantly faster by utilizing many parallel CPUs and vast amounts of memory simultaneously.

This course offers a practical, hands-on introduction to the essential commands needed to submit and monitor jobs on HPC using PBS Pro, as well as how to run your software on HPC, empowering you to overcome computational bottlenecks and accelerate your research.

Preference will be given to HDR students and Academics.

You'll learn:

• Logging into the UTS HPC system
• Basic Linux Commands to navigate to the HPC system
• Submit and manage jobs using the PBS scheduler
• PBS Queues and Job Routing
• Check resource usage, debugging, and checkpointing
• Introduction to parallelisation using MPI (Message Passing Interface)
