Key Points

Introduction to HPC	Learn about CPUs, cores, cache and comparing your own machine with a HPC cluster
The Command Line Interface	Learn the basic commands
Text editors in Linux	Learn the basic commands to use nano, emacs and vim
Environment Modules	Use `module avail` to know all the modules on the cluster. Use `module load <module_name>` to load the module that you need. You can preload modules for each login by adding the load line on your `$HOME/.bashrc`
Compile code on the cluster	Compile code in several languages and using OpenMP and MPI
Job Submission (Torque and Moab)	It is a good idea to keep aliases to common torque commands for easy execution.
Software Containers (Singularity)	Singularity containers give you control on the software you want on a machine, helping you with reproducible executions.
Package and Environment Management (Conda)	With conda you are able to install a number of packages not available among the centrally managed packages
Version Control (git)	Version control systems were created to keep track of changes in a set of files. They work better with text files
Transfer files in and out the cluster	Transfer files using Globus Online, sftp, and scp
Shell Scripting	Basic shell programming for HPC
