This course will help participants become familiar with the computing environment on UH high-performance computing clusters like Carya and Sabine. You'll learn how to set up HPC workflows, submit tasks to the queuing systems, and retrieve your results. The course also covers the structure of cluster systems, how to access them, personalize your user settings, compile and link codes for CPUs or GPUs, work with the SLURM batch scheduling system, create batch job scripts, and submit jobs for various HPC applications such as MATLAB, R, Python, and NAMD. In addition to HPC, the course touches on Linux, covering topics like user accounts, file permissions, navigating the file system, using the Command Line Interface (CLI), employing command line utility programs, manipulating files and folders, and working with standard text editors. Furthermore, the course covers Shell scripting, including built-in commands, control structures, file descriptors, functions, parameters, and variables.
