This workshop provides an introduction for new users to Kamiak and HPC Environments.

It also involves interactive hands-on exercises.  A summary of commands for the exercises can be found here: https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/1122/2018/02/kamiak_follow_along.pdf 

The session will also be recorded and archived for future viewing.

Requirements:

As part of the training, you will be asked to run some exercises on Kamiak. Before you attend, please make sure that you:

• Have an account on Kamiak.
  • New account requests can be made at https://wsu-its.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 > Logins and Accounts > Request an Account.
  • If you do not have an account, please request one as soon as possible to allow our team time to set up your account before Monday.
• Bring a laptop or device that you can use to access Kamiak.
  • Please test your ability to connect in advance by following the instructions here: https://hpc.wsu.edu/users-guide/terminal-ssh/
  • If you are using a Windows device, make sure that you have PuTTY (or another terminal emulator) in order to connect to Kamiak.
  • If you do not have a laptop that you can bring, CougTech has rentals here: https://cougtech.wsu.edu/Services/RentalRates.aspx
• Make sure your device has the capability to transfer files.
  • We will be teaching you how to perform file transfers in this workshop, but please make sure that you have everything installed to do so in advance.
    • On a Mac: You should already be set to use SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) from the command line.  See more at https://hpc.wsu.edu/users-guide/file-transfers/. If you would like to use a graphical file transfer software on a Mac, there are options at the bottom of that page.
    • On a PC: Please download WinSCP (a link is available @ https://hpc.wsu.edu/users-guide/file-transfers/) to upload files using a graphical user interface.  You can also use an SCP client such as PuTTY’s pscp.exe for SCP transfers from the Windows command line, but we recommend using something with a GUI and the ability to use SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol).
• Familiarize yourself with basic Linux commands.
  • If you are not very familiar with Linux or need a refresher, we recommend that you take a look at Chapter 2 (Pages 18 – 31) of this introductory guide: http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/intro-linux.pdf
• Choose and download a text editor GUI.
  • Vim is a popular choice if you don’t already have one that you prefer.  Common commands for vi editors like Vim can be found in the Linux guide @ http://www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_06_02.html
