Description
Tip: This course goes together well with our cluster introduction course, and we have scheduled them in the same week.
Although this course is open to everyone, it is primarily geared towards cluster users. That means that neither Graphical User Interfaces nor topics that require root access (e.g. installation, administration) are covered. All topics covered are distro-independent.
Registration happens via eCampus.
