Discover how to make the most of the ARC High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster in this practical introductory session. Designed for researchers and anyone looking to develop their computational skills, this session will introduce the fundamentals of HPC and parallel computing, helping you understand how to use ARC’s powerful computing resources to support your research. You’ll learn how to connect to ARC, navigate its software environment and use the SLURM resource manager to submit, monitor and manage computing jobs. The session will also explore how to request resources such as memory and GPUs, run interactive sessions, troubleshoot job failures and understand ARC’s credit system. You’ll gain an introduction to software containers, job partitions and transferring data to and from ARC storage, alongside practical experience of submitting a simple job script. By the end of the session, you’ll have the foundational knowledge and practical skills to start using ARC confidently and efficiently for your research.
