Course goals and format
This course is a general introduction to computing resources available to researchers at the University of Oslo, suitable as an introduction to any researcher doing somewhat computational or data-intensive work now or in the future.
It consists of two parts:
- Computing resources: What is available for you, when to use them and for which purpose. It starts with a lecture on general introduction and continues with institute-specific part.
- Basic Linux shell introduction: Shell is essential to use some of the computing resources and useful to efficiently conduct data-intensive work.
This is a new model of collaborative online course initiated by Aalto University, Finland. A joint presentation is given to several universities, with a separate local discussion about local practicalities. Register from the link at the bottom to attend the UiO-specific discussion room.
