July 27th and 28th, 2020
Where: Online - details of how to connect will be sent via email before the event
When: Monday 27th July and Tuesday 28th July, 2020. (You must attend both days). We will start at 10:00 and end at 13:00 each day, but you are strongly encouraged to come along at 9:30 on day 1 to test that everything is working.
Who: This is a pilot workshop aimed at UCL postgraduate students and research staff who have not used an HPC cluster before. You do not need to be familiar with the Unix/Linux command line, as this will be taught on the first morning of the workshop. The second day will teach you the skills you need to get up and running on the UCL Myriad high throughput cluster.
As this is the pilot workshop for a new course, we would appreciate your understanding if things do not go as smoothly as we would like, and we would also very much appreciate your honest feedback on both the content and method of delivery!
Requirements: This is an online course; participants must have a laptop (Windows, Mac or Linux) to work on, not a tablet. You must apply for access to Myriad in advance of the course via the web form at the following link:
Research Computing account services
There is a workshop page with further information and a list of things you'll need to install on your laptop before the workshop;

please make sure you have installed all of this beforehand, although help will be available before the start of the first session if you have any problems.
