HPC On-boarding
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 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.
