Training

HPC@LSU offers a sequence of tutorials every semester.

1. April 9,2025: Introduction to GNU Parallel
TopicIntroduction to GNU Parallel
DateApril 9,2025
Time9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
PlaceZoom Online
DescriptionIn scientific computation disciplines, such as bioinformatics and computational biology, many computational tools are serial in nature. To effectively run many serial jobs simultaneously on multi-core HPC platform can be challenging. GNU Parallel is an easy to use and also powerful tool for executing commands/tasks in parallel on one or multiple host machines. This training will introduce GNU Parallel and its basic features. Hand-on, real-world examples will be demonstrated on how to run different types of massive individual tasks using GNU Parallel.
Prerequisites
  • Basic knowledge of HPC environment and Linux is preferred but not required.

2. April 16,2025: Molecular Dynamics
TopicMolecular Dynamics
DateApril 16,2025
Time9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
PlaceZoom Online
DescriptionMolecular dynamics simulation (MD) is a computational technique that is used to study the dynamics of molecules and atoms over time. The tutorial will discuss the essentials of the classical molecular dynamics simulations. The basic system setup, initialization, and analysis for widely used simulation packages such as LAMMPS, GROMACS, AMBER and NAMD on LONI and LSU HPC clusters will be reviewed.
