Using the GWDG Scientific Compute Cluster

Event content

For first-time users, the Linux operating system on the Scientific Compute Cluster (SCC) represents a significant entry hurdle, as does preparing their programs and using the batch system. This course is intended to provide a smooth introduction to the topic. We start with connecting to the SCC and give an overview of the most important Linux commands. Compilation and installation of software is then covered. Finally, an outline of the efficient use of computing resources with the batch system is given.

Learning goal

The course shall help new users to get started interacting with the HPC cluster of the GWDG and shows optimal ways to carry out computations.
