HPC Basics
HPC Carpentry teaches basic skills for high-performance computing. HPC Carpentry is a set of teaching materials designed to help new users take advantage of high-performance computing systems. No prior computational experience is required. These lessons are ideal for either traditional or online workshop, or independent (self-paced) study.
Introduction to High-Performance Computing is a great place to start (up to lesson 7). The remaining lessons can be referenced for concepts, but are not specific to UD's community clusters. Also consider the Software Carpentry: The Unix Shell workshop to provide additional in depth knowledge for lessons 1-7.
NOTE: Currently, HPC Carpentry release is a draft. Comments and feedback are welcome.
Supercomputing in Plain English at Oklahoma University (OU)
Henry Neeman at OU is hosting an annual set of workshops about High Performance Computing called Supercomputing in Plain English. Learn more about how supercomputers work and how to use them by watching and participating through exercises. All the videos and slides are available here.
Getting started on a UD Cluster
Teaches you how to get started using the UD's HPC community clusters specifically focusing on the differences from a standard Linux system.
