We are a global volunteer organization committed to developing high-quality training materials and a modular curriculum to educate users of high-performance computing machinery. For more information, please visit HPC-Carpentry.org.
HPC Carpentry is not an official member of The Carpentries yet, but we are working through the Lesson Program Incubator to fix that. If you would like to help, please join #hpc-carpentry on the Carpentries' Slack and keep an eye out for our next meeting: we host two per month, so you won't have to wait long.
We contribute lessons to the Carpentries Incubator as they near completion, which means they can't be pinned here. A typical HPC Carpentry workshop is stitched together from the following resources:
-
A parallel Python program with tunable proportions of serial and parallel work, used in our core lessons to mimic a "real" parallel workload using
sleep()instead of an energy-intensive task. -
Cluster resources are often, if not always, accessed from a command-line interface (CLI) rather than a graphical user interface (GUI). Software Carpentries' introduction to the shell (a.k.a. "terminal," a.k.a. "command line") is a prerequisite for our workshops.

carpentries-incubator/hpc-intro
A gentle introduction to workload managers (queuing systems) and shared computational resources, this lesson forms the heart of HPC Carpentry.

carpentries-incubator/hpc-workflows
If you've launched one job, you might as well launch a thousand... but use a tool to manage your workflow! This lesson uses Snakemake to orchestrate a scaling study, an important step in understanding the limits of any parallel application.
