Description
The GNU/Linux operating system forms the foundation of the modern high-performance computing ecosystem. Efficient use of HPC resources requires familiarity with the system's command-line environment – the primary interface through which users interact with computing clusters and manage their workloads.
This training introduces participants to the fundamentals of working in a GNU/Linux environment. It covers essential concepts such as the structure of the operating system, the role of the shell, and the logic behind command-line operations. Participants will learn the basics of Bash shell scripting and explore core system utilities for data processing and automation – skills that are crucial for navigating and working effectively within HPC systems.
The session is conducted as a webinar with live demonstrations, illustrating examples of Linux commands, scripts, and workflows. Participants are encouraged to follow along and practice on their own systems, whether on personal computers running GNU/Linux or on HPC clusters to which they have access. Please note that access to a supercomputer is not provided as part of the training.
This event is organized by HPC Competences Centres in Poland, Latvia (in collaboration with RTU HPC Center), and Bosnia & Herzegovina, within the EuroCC2 project.
The webinar will be in English and it will take place online. The link to the streaming platform will be provided to the registered participants only.
