ACENET Basics: Introduction to Linux

This core session is designed to help those with no prior experience working with a terminal interface. Linux is the terminal interface used to enable you to use the ACENET and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance) HPC clusters from your desktop. It's the tool you need to get your data on the clusters, run your programs, and get your data back. In this session, learn how to get started with Linux, how to create and navigate directories for your data, load files, manage your storage, run programs on the computing clusters, and set file permissions.

ACENET Basics: Introduction to High Performance Computing (HPC) with ACENET

This core session is designed to help new researchers get up and running. Researchers across many disciplines use HPC to tackle analyses that would be either inefficient or impossible on a desktop. This session offers a basic description of the infrastructure and support accessible, with entry-level advice about how to begin; an overview of the software packages available for applications, data analysis, and software development, and how to request specific software relevant to your work; and insight into the potential of parallel computing to accelerate your analysis. 

ACENET Basics of Computers training session

Most of us have experience using a computer, whether for school, work, or entertainment, but how many of us have actually had an expert teach us how to use it? This talk won't teach you how to troubleshoot everything, but will give you insight to how media, programs and data are encoded and used by computers, so you can make more sense of why computers behave the ways they do, and solve some of your problems with greater efficiency and less frustration.
