If you’ve learned the command line, you’re ready to learn how to use bash programming to automate your workflows and speed up your research. Bash programming helps with using remote clusters, running code, and automating data processing and analysis. In this introduction of Bash shell programming we will use the command line interface to navigate a unix environment to introduce variables, loops, and conditional operations in order to automate shell operations using scripts.

An overview of the University’s High Performance Computing System, including Quest’s system architectural design principles, user support infrastructure, resource allocation request requirements, and usage policies. Users are encouraged to bring their laptops for a hands-on demonstration of sample tools and workflows in Quest.

This is a hands-on session.

Users should bring their own computers for this session.

You should have a secure shell environment installed on your computer. The course instructor will provide instructions on installing the secure shell in advance of the session.
