Primer on Using the Bioinformatics Core Administrated Servers and Cluster(s)

 A short workshop on how to effectively use the servers and clusters that are administrated by the Bioinformatics Core sysadmin team. This 2-hour seminar will discuss the following topics relating to our systems:

• Explanation of user spaces (home directories) vs 'share' spaces (lab directories/shares)
• Working in a team (lab), file/folder permissions
• Using applications, the module system, when to request software, when to install software yourself
• Submitting jobs to the cluster, using slurm
• When you should ask for help, and whom to contact
• Use of the Research Computing Resources portal for account administration
• Cost structure of the Cluster and cluster sustainability

This workshop has the expectation that you are currently using our systems and can use more information/help on how to be more effective (answer some lingering questions), OR will be using our systems in the near future. The workshop will NOT cover basic command line basics.
