About this workshop: This Carpentries Incubator course is an introduction to using high-performance computing systems effectively. We can’t cover every case or give an exhaustive course on parallel programming in just one day's teaching time. Instead, this workshop is intended to give you a good introduction and overview of the tools available and how to use them effectively. Command line experience is necessary for this lesson - see the Software Carpentry’s Introduction to the Unix Shell course as a guide. Please see the course notes for further information or get in touch with us.
This workshop is run in collaboration between the National Oceanography Centre and JASMIN. Training accounts will be provided for access to JASMIN - you do not need a JASMIN account for this workshop.
Please register for this workshop by the end of 19th June.
Course Notes: The course notes can be found on the lesson homepage.
Who can attend?: This workshop is open to all staff and students from the National Oceanography Centre and everyone who uses or has an interest in using JASMIN (see JASMIN's access policy for details).
