Co-Lab Roots Workshop: A Little More Advanced Linux

Event Image
Monday, March 27, 2017

James Dorff
Roots Workshops

This two-afternoon short-course extends the topics covered in The "Introduction to Linux" course. Familiarity with concepts covered in that introductory course is a pre-requisite for this course. Those not taking the Introduction to Linux course in the week before this advance course need to do a careful assessment of their knowledge of Linux. A review is a good idea.

The course very briefly reviews core concepts, and quickly moves to topics relating to automating more complex series of tasks, principles and points of configuration, troubleshooting, and system security. Submission scripts for high-throughput/high-performance computing schedulers such as SLURM and Condor (both used at Duke) are also introduced.

Course participants are required to provide their own laptop computer. Linux systems will be provided to participants, and they can use their laptops to access them. For people using a Windows laptops, please make sure that you have an SSH client installed (A free client can be downloaded and installed from: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html)
