Henry2: Basic HPC Workshop: Parallel Jobs

NCSU OIT Research Services, High Performance Computing (HPC), March 2020.
Presented by: Lisa L. Lowe, PhD

This video is the fourth installation of the Basic HPC Workshop. It covers concepts and definitions of parallel computing, and it shows how to run both shared and distributed memory jobs.

This Video Workshop is only effective if actively following along. Users should pause the video whenever necessary to complete the exercises while logged in to Henry2.
