Description

Using a modern HPC environment efficiently requires not only a good understanding of your scientific problem, but also some familiarity with the technical aspects of the system. On this course we will take a look at some of the most essential ones: Using modern storage services, running jobs through a batch job system and some solutions for getting your analysis environment running on a HPC platform.

 
This course is part of the Bioweek 2020. You can participate in ALL or only SELECTED Bioweek's courses. We have planned the Bioweek 2020 so that we are building on top of the previous knowledge. For example, the last course (basics of RNA-seq data analysis) has command line, R/RStudio and CSC services usage as prerequisites.

Bioweek 2020:
3.2.2020 Using modern HPC environment efficiently
4.-5.2.2020 Data analysis with R
6.-7.2020 Introduction to RNA-seq data analysis
