Description:

This workshop is geared towards VT faculty, researchers, and students who are new to ARC. The aim is to provide orientation to the user-facing components of ARC systems and to demonstrate common connection and usage patterns. This includes an overview and demonstration of ARC's web-based portal (Open OnDemand), and also how to connect with command-line oriented tools. Attendees with ARC accounts can follow along in a walkthrough of the most useful scheduler-interaction commands and an overview of building and submitting a sample workload, to the scheduler in the form of a batch job.
