Bash is the corner stone of HPC systems, learn to connect, navigate, and much much more.
This course is part of the Foundation Series of courses, which introduces the principles of HPC and the essential tools needed to work effectively on an HPC system. The training will help you develop the skills required to support your research and enable you to make effective use of DiRAC’s HPC resources. The series covers core competencies, such as: connecting to a system for the first time to establishing the foundations for writing robust, high-quality code, and finally launching your first HPC job. We assume familiarity with desktop computers, but no prior experience with programming, Linux, or HPC is required.
The foundation in BASH course is the first in the foundation series of courses and focuses on providing you with the fundamentals of the Linux BASH environment. It ensures you will develop the skills needed to connect to an HPC system, navigate and manage their working environment, access the appropriate directories, transfer data to the correct locations, and launch their first job on an HPC system.
Lean how to manage your code, and work as a team using the industry standard GIT.
The foundation in GIT course is the second in the foundation series of courses and focuses on providing you with the fundamentals of the GIT software control system. It ensures you will develop the skills needed to use and manage you code development in a structured and safe way, enabling you to ether build a repository ready to share with others, or work seamlessly with your collaborators.
