Webinar fall 2024: Best practices in HPC/HTC environments
October 15, 2024, 10:00 am to 11:00 am
Virtual event
Most current Digital Research Alliance of Canada systems, as well as many local advanced research computing (ARC) systems and clusters support high-performance computing (HPC) and high-throughput computing (HTC) workflows.
HPC workflows tend to focus on tightly coupled parallel jobs and, as such, they must execute within a particular site with low-latency interconnects. Conversely, HTC workflows consist of independent, mostly sequential jobs that can be individually scheduled on many different computing resources.
In this webinar, we will guide you through the best practices for deploying your HPC or HTC computations on our clusters:
- Interacting with the available hardware (login and data transfer nodes, compute nodes, interconnect etc.)
- Using the File Systems (where to store your data)
- Working with the available software and installing/building your own
- Interacting with the scheduler (testing your jobs scripts, submitting jobs)
