The Center for High Throughput Computing provides large-scale computational
resources to researchers on campus who require computing to do their work.
This training provides an introduction to what high throughput computing is
and how to start using CHTC’s high throughput computing resources.
Prerequisites
This training assumes that you already have a basic knowledge of shell commands to create, edit, and move files and directories, as well as how to navigate a filesystem using commands like
cdandls.See the setup page for instructions on how to prepare.
