Introduction to the LRZ Linux Cluster and Compute Cloud

Content

In this introductory course we will give an overview of the hardware and software services provided by the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) with a focus on supercomputing (HPC) as well as machine learning (ML) applications. The course opens with a (optional) introduction to GNU/Linux and a how-to of working with remote machines (using SSH). The subsequent combination of lectures, demo and hands-on sessions provides participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently utilize the LRZ supercomputing and cloud infrastructure for their own projects.
