Why invest the time and effort to learn HPC?
Learning how to use HPC will likely not be valuable for all users in all cases, but it can be valuable for a number of different use cases.
Anyone running up against apps exceptionally valuable and save significant time and effort in certain situations. Learning these skills provide HPC knowledgable users with a strategic advantage that can serve them throughout their academic, research, and professional careers.
Anyone with a workstation crashing due to memory problems from too much data, running time consuming computational tasks, performing repetitive computations, or wanting to scale their computational work, or just needing more compute power should consider using HPC resources for improved speed, efficiency and efficiencytime-savings.ARCC helps all UW researchers regardless of HPC experience level learn to complete their research with HPC.
Common HPC Skills
Becoming an expert in HPC requires knowledge in Linux Command Line, and mastering a number of tools. The tools that provide the greatest value to you may be different from those in other scientific domains. While this it may seem initially daunting, UW ARCC helps all researchers regardless of HPC experience level. Our department has developed a number of tutorials and we offer bi-weekly office hours allowing you to learn HPC at your own pace. Below is an expandable a very general list of common set of skill to master in order to become an expert HPC user with links to training and materials on our Wiki:
