HPC On-boarding 05-08 May 2025
The Norwegian Research Infrastructure Services (NRIS) is offering an on-boarding hands-on course for new users of high performance computing (HPC) systems.
The course is highly recommended for all new users of the national HPC systems (Saga, Fram, Betzy) and all interested in the field. Targeted Audience: The course is aimed at students, researchers and employees of any background. We assume no prior knowledge of what an HPC is or how to use it. For those with little experience using UNIX-like operating systems such as Linux or working on the command line of a terminal, the first day of the course is designed specifically for you.
The course is open to all and free of charge.

Registration
The registration will open in early 2025.
Practical Information
This is an online course via Zoom. Participants require access to a computer (not provided by the course organisers) with internet connectivity and pre-installed programs to participate in the video meeting of the course (Zoom) and to access the HPC systems (eg: ssh).
