From PC to Cloud or High Performance Computing
Most of you would have heard of Cloud and High Performance Computing (HPC), or you may already be using it. HPC is not the same as cloud computing. Both technologies differ in a number of ways, and have some similarities as well.

Most of you would have heard of Cloud and High Performance Computing (HPC), or you may already be using it. HPC is not the same as cloud computing. Both technologies differ in a number of ways, and have some similarities as well.
We may refer to both types as “large scale computing” – but what is the difference? Both systems target scalability of computing, but in different ways.
This webinar will give a good overview to the researchers thinking to make a move from their local computer to Cloud of High Performance Computing Cluster.
Introduction

Is your computer’s limited power throttling your research ambitions? Are your analysis scripts pushing your laptop’s processor to its limits? Is your software crashing because you’ve run out of memory? Would you like to unleash to power of the Unix command line to automate and run your analysis on supercomputers that you can access for free?
High-Performance Computing (HPC) allows you to accomplish your analysis faster by using many parallel CPUs and huge amounts of memory simultaneously. This course provides a hands on introduction to running software on HPC infrastructure using PBS Pro.
Connect to an HPC cluster
Use the Unix command line to operate a remote computer and create job scripts
Submit and manage jobs on a cluster using a scheduler
Transfer files to and from a remote computer
Use software through environment modules
Use parallelisation to speed up data analysis
Access the facilities available to you as a researcher
This is the PBS Pro version of the Getting Started with HPC course.
This course assumes basic familiarity with the Bash command line environment found on GNU/Linux and other Unix-like environments. To come up to speed, consider taking our \Unix Shell and Command Line Basics\ course.

Now you want to move from writing single-threaded programs into the parallel programming paradigm, so you can truly harness the full power of High Performance Computing.
OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing): a widespread method for shared memory programming
MPI (Message Passing Interface): a leading distributed memory programming model
To do this course you need to have:
A good working knowledge of HPC. Consider taking our
Getting Started with HPC using PBS Pro course to come up to speed beforehand.
Prior experience of writing programs in either C or Fortran.
