HPC Ecosystems Workshops

---

The HPC Ecosystems Project has collated or developed additional hands-on workshops and resources that are considered relevant and useful to HPC System Administrators.

Whether you are just getting started, or are simply HPC curious, or want to find alternative resources to play around with, we hope you will find something useful in the collections below!

NEW TO HPC?

If you're new to HPC, then these materials are probably your best starting point. 

There's a collection of short YouTube videos designed to teach students the foundational concepts of HPC for them to participate in the Student Cluster Competition (pre-2022).
