Introduction to High-Performance Computing at UMD

This workshop will introduce participants to the basics of high-performance computing (HPC), and will briefly cover:

- general HPC concepts, terminology, etc.

- accessing the Zaratan cluster

- accessing software installed on the cluster

- transferring files

- submitting jobs on the cluster

Participants should bring their own device (laptop) with a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) and a terminal application (SSH, e.g. PuTTY) to access the cluster via the Open-OnDemand web portal and UNIX/Linux shell; participants without an account on Zaratan will get a temporary account on the cluster.
