HPC Training

Aspen Systems Cluster User Training covers a variety of standard topics many new cluster users have difficulty with. This training is intended to take the user from their first login on the new cluster, to actually running their codes with real world problem sets. Aspen Systems will need a list of your user’s applications in advance in order to prepare properly for your training session. Remote access to your cluster from the training location is highly recommended.

Aspen Systems Cluster Administrator Training serves as an administrator introduction to an Aspen Systems cluster. We teach your administration staff how best to maintain and repair your delivered configuration. The training is tailored to your delivered system, as some information may not be germane to your specific implementation. Some Linux administrative knowledge is a prerequisite for this course, and that knowledge is used as a base to introduce and expand upon more advanced topics. Physical access to the delivered cluster is mandatory, so this training must be done on-site with the cluster, or prior to delivery at an Aspen Systems manufacturing facility.

Custom training sessions can be contracted as well. If you, for example, require parallel code development instruction, debugger training, performance tuning, or other subject training not covered by our standard training packages, your sales engineer can work with you to either extend one of our packages or to outline an entirely custom curriculum. In many cases, a custom training session will require that one of our standard training packages be completed by your students before the additional training session is initiated. Additional time will be needed to develop your custom curriculum. Our training engineers will need to work with you extensively to understand your exact training goals. They will present curriculum outlines for your approval which you must approve prior to developing your course.
