This course is tailored for researchers that make first contact with Linux/Unix based systems and computing environments typical to data centers. In an intentionally slow pace the participants will be provided with the necessary information to access, change and utilize the computing environment in order to use CSC's infrastructure for their purpose. No preliminary knowledge of High Performance Computing and operating systems is assumed. The course will build on a learning-by-doing approach and include short examples to every point of the program.
