This course introduces accessing remote advanced computing facilities via the command line and High Performance Computing (HPC). After completing this course, participants will:

• Understand motivations for using HPC in research.
• Understand how HPC systems are put together to achieve performance and how they differ from desktops/laptops.
• Know how to connect to remote HPC systems and transfer data.
• Be able to use the Bash command line on remote systems.
• Know how to use a scheduler to work on a shared system.
• Be able to use software modules to access different HPC software.
• Be able to work effectively on a remote shared resource.
