Workshop: An Introduction to High Performance Computing for Biologists Using CREATE
8th May @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
** This workshop is a 2 day course (8th & 9th May) **
Many research projects of biomedical interest involve the processing of extensive collections of big data files, which is often impractical on standard desktop computers. This workshop introduces the use of high-performance computing (HPC) systems such as CREATE. At the end of the workshop participants will have familiarity with the Linux command line and an understanding of the key features of an HPC system.
The course will be structured in an interactive approach, alternating between lectures, discussion and extended hands-on activity. Live demos will use the HPC cluster, where multiple users compete for its finite resources. The demonstrators will guide you in its use and explain how resources are allocated to users and tasks.
The first day will introduce Linux to newcomers, enabling them to use its command line and perform simple tasks such as navigating the system without the use of a graphical interface. During the second day participants will learn how to effectively use a computer cluster – e.g. manipulating files and directories, writing and running scripts, logging into the cluster, transferring data and checking data integrity.
