<strong>Welcome to the RCS documentation home page.</strong>
Research Computing Services (RCS) is a group within the wider University of Calgary Information Technologies team that plans, manages, and supports high performance computing (HPC) systems in use by researchers throughout the University of Calgary.  Our primary focus is to meet the increasing demand for engineering and scientific computation by offering a wide range of specialized services to help researchers solve highly complex real-world problems or run large scale computationally intensive workloads on our high-end HPC resources.


Many researchers coming from a Microsoft Windows background, intending to use a remote HPC system for the first time, request some kind of Linux training.
This RCS Wiki contains technical documentation for use by users of HPC systems operated by RCS


The WestGrid [http://www.westgrid.ca/support/quickstart/new_users QuickStart Guide for New Users] gives an overview of the range of topics that are typically relevant for someone getting started on such a system, with links to details that are specific to the WestGrid environment. Many of the topics covered there are relevant for most remote Linux systems, so, you might like to take a look at it.

In case cluster status changes:
    *  set the status to yellow or red
    *  provide a custom 'title' and 'message'


To focus discussions with those who might be interested in obtaining more pesonalized HPC Linux training from UC IT HPC support staff, an expanded list of possible topics is shown below.

If you are starting with WestGrid or the local HPC resources, an offer is usually made to meet with you for an hour or two to make sure your own computer is set up and to go over the main things you need to know to start using the remote computational resources.
