Why invest the time and effort to learn HPC and Research Computing?

Learning how to use HPC will likely not be valuable for all users in all cases, but it can be 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, wanting to scale their computational work, or just needing more compute power should consider using HPC resources for improved speed, efficiency and time-savings.

HPC Skills to Learn

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 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 we provide a very general list and workflow for common set of skill to master on the road to becoming an expert HPC user:
