Module 2: Working with HPC clusters

Knowing how to work on a High Performance Computing (HPC) system is an essential skill for applications such as bioinformatics, big-data analysis, image processing, machine learning, parallelising tasks, and other high-throughput applications. In this module we will cover the basics of High Performance Computing, what it is and how you can use it in practice. This is a hands-on workshop, which should be accessible to researchers from a range of backgrounds and offering several opportunities to practice the skills we learn along the way. The content is specifically tailored for the Sanger HPC server (aka the "FARM"), and by the end of the course you should be well equipped to start running your analysis on your local computing infrastructure.

This module consists of one full-day session.

Delivery

All sessions will be held in-person
