Introduction to CSC Computing Environment (November 15, 2012)

This course is tailored for researchers that make first contact with Linux/Unix based systems and computing environments typical to data centers. In an intentionally slow pace the participants will be provided with the necessary information to access, change and utilize the computing environment in order to use CSC's infrastructure for their purpose. No preliminary knowledge of computing servers or operating systems will be assumed. The course will build on a learning-by-doing approach and include short examples to every point of the program.

The course will address the following topics:

* Logging in: how to access CSC's computers via the shell * Introduction to LINUX/UNIX: a basic guide to use the shell * Scientist's User Interface (SUI): introduction to web-based access to CSC's services * CSC's computing environment: different platforms, module system, licensing * Running your jobs: simple compiling (for absolute beginners), resource-management (a.k.a. batch job) systems * Troubleshooter: Interactive session to deal with open questions and specific problems

The course is free of charge. Register by November 8 at
