The CUIT Research Services HPC Training Series is designed to onboard researchers to shared high-performance computing (HPC) resources at Columbia. Led by HPC engineers, these hands-on sessions will introduce participants to Columbia’s shared on-prem HPC clusters, (Insomnia, Manitou, and Ginsburg) and provide foundational skills for effectively leveraging these resources. Whether you're new to HPC or looking to refine your skills, this series will guide you through essential tools and workflows for running computational research efficiently.
These workshops are designed to help new users get started with HPC resources and build foundational skills for their research computing needs. You can take one or all of the courses, depending on your needs.
Intro to HPC (Training Series #4)
In this workshop, we'll introduce you to high-performance computing (HPC), explaining what it is and why it's essential for solving complex computational problems. We'll cover how HPC is used to run simulations, process large datasets, and accelerate research across various fields. Additionally, we'll provide an overview of HPC clusters, highlighting their architecture, how they work, and how they are used to distribute computational tasks across multiple nodes to achieve high performance.
