A Supercomputer is a machine that highly exceeds the performance of currently available desktop computers. A High-Performance Computing cluster is the most commonly used kind of supercomputer. Intended to be used as a shared resource by several users, it relies on a resource manager and scheduler to optimize the overall execution of many jobs across a variety of compute nodes. This lesson will present the basics of using an HPC cluster, Unix commands, modules, submission of jobs, version control, and software containers.

Prerequisites
This tutorial assumes a very minimal familiarity with command line interface. This first lesson is intended even for first-time users. The lesson progresses towards submitting jobs in a cluster and working with files all from a terminal interface.
