This is a slightly different workshop than the RCS's official Intro to HPC workshop. DeapSECURE is a computational training with focus on cybersecurity-related problems. The first online workshop was offered live in October 2020.
In this workshop, we introduce learners to the HPC platform (a much shorter version of our Intro-to-HPC workshop), but we add a hands-on activity on using HPC to process many spam emails. Finally, we guided learners to break up the processing into many smaller jobs and process them in parallel to gain speed up. Isn't that what HPC is all about?
In this blog, we selectively feature several tutorial videos on UNIX shell. Stay tuned for the release of the complete workshop.
This is a tentative placeholder of the contents of that workshop, which we put out early on trial basis because we consider these topics highly relevant to many HPC users.

Scripting is central in the UNIX world, as well as in HPC. Knowing how to script things will enable you to submit jobs on HPC.
