HBC Current Topics in Bioinformatics Series – Upcoming training sessions 11/20 and 12/11

We are excited to announce the final two workshops of the year as part of the Harvard Chan Bioinformatics Core (HBC) 2024 series Current Topics in Bioinformatics .

Please join us online on November 20, 2024 from 1-4pm for a training session on Basic Shell.

Basic Shell: Bioinformatics requires computational resources that go beyond what your laptop has available. To access high performance computing (HPC ) resources, users need to have a basic working knowledge of the command line interface (CLI – also referred to as UNIX, bash, shell). In this workshop participants will learn basic commands for navigating the file system, exploring file contents, and performing basic operations, such as moving, copying, and renaming files/folders. This module is a pre-requirement for all other modules.

Please join us online on December 11, 2024 from 1-4pm for Shell Tips and Tricks on O2

Shell Tips and Tricks on O2 – In this workshop we invite users of the HMS Research Computing Cluster O2 and members of the Harvard community who are interested in using a compute cluster to join us as we demonstrate some very helpful tips and best practices. We will introduce participants to various commands and approaches to help effectively navigate use the cluster and complete tasks in an efficient manner. We encourage participants to log on to the cluster and follow along interactively, however attendees can also watch the demonstration. This advanced workshop requires knowledge of the command-line and/or the basic shell skills learned in November’s Basic Shell workshop.
