HPC Training
HPC @ LSU offers High Performance Computing training to LSU and LONI users. We provide introductory courses on MPI, OpenMP and other true parallel programming topics.Our training courses will be held on the Access Grid and through a web streaming solution so that remote sites may attend. To find reservation information either on the Access Grid or at the physical location of the training follow the link to the training information.
Moodle Training
Visit our Moodle training. Currently we have three courses:- Survival Skills with the BASH Shell
- Survival Skills with the TCSH Shell
- User environment for LONI clusters
You have to create an account using a valid email address and your name. Then you just log in to the system and start with the training.
