Introduction to Unix on Biowulf: January 2024
When: January 22, 2024 - February 7, 2024Share
About this Course
Biowulf is the high-performance compute cluster (HPC) at NIH and runs Linux, a Unix-like operating system. It offers more compute power than a personal computer and has over 900 software applications installed, including those for bioinformatics. Using Biowulf requires working knowledge of a command line interface. While many people are accustomed to working with graphical driven operating systems such as Windows or Mac, a completely text and command driven environment can be challenging to learn. The ability to work on Biowulf however is central to using bioinformatics applications at NIH. This course series will teach the basic Unix commands needed for working on Biowulf. Participants will be able to immediately apply skills learned in their own data analysis.
This course is composed of six lessons, occurring on Mondays and Wednesdays from January 22 through February 7, 2024. Each lesson runs from 1 – 2 PM and will be followed by an optional 1-hour help session.
Course learning objectives:
After this series, participants will
- Know how to obtain a Biowulf account if they do not have one already.
- Know how to sign onto Biowulf.
- Be proficient with navigating the Biowulf directory structure.
- Become proficient with copying, moving, and renaming files as well as folders on Biowulf.
- Be able to view and edit with text files as well as scripts.
- Perform basic wrangling tasks on tabular data.
- Know how to work with software installed on the cluster.
- Be able to submit shell and swarm scripts to the Biowulf batch system.
- Be aware of tools used for transferring data between local computer and the Biowulf cluster.
