Introduction to research computing on the Palmetto cluster

Prerequesites

Learners need to be familiar with the unix filesystem, e.g., know what the “root” and “home” directories refer to, and have knowledge of basic shell commands to create and navigate directories (pwd, cd, ls, mkdir). Some experience with a terminal-based text editor (such as nano) is also recommended.
