New in 2021! We are pleased to bring to the UCF Research community a series of workshops on scientific computing and research data management. These workshops are being jointly presented by UCF Libraries, UCF Graduate and Research IT, and UCF Advanced Research Computing Center (ARCC) and will feature some guest speakers from the broader research community. This series also includes Software and Data Carpentries workshops (http://carpentries.org) which have been made possible through the sponsorship of Dr. Elizabeth Klonoff, Vice President for Research and Dean, College of Graduate Studies.
The workshops are targeted to faculty, post-docs and student researchers and will be especially useful for those who are new to computational science and interested in learning about the resources available to them at UCF and beyond. Topics span the areas of research data management, high-performance computing, and programming for scientific analysis and will feature some sessions with hands-on learning.
The February 18 session details are:
Title: Carpentries: Introduction to bash shell scripting/Linux basics (hands-on)
Audience:
This workshop is aimed at graduate students and other researchers, but all are welcome to attend. This is a basics level workshop for an audience who intend to start working with Unix in the future. You don't need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be taught.
Description:
The Unix shell has been around longer than most of its users have been alive. It has survived so long because it is a power tool that allows people to do complex things with just a few keystrokes. More importantly, it helps them combine existing programs in new ways and automate repetitive tasks so they are not typing the same things over and over again. Use of the shell is fundamental to using a wide range of other powerful tools and computing resources (including "high-performance computing" supercomputers). These lessons will start you on a path towards using these resources effectively.
Presenters: Fahad Khan, Ph.D.
