Course goals and format

This course is a general introduction to computing resources available to researchers at Aalto University or the University of Oslo, suitable as an introduction to any researcher doing somewhat computational or data-intensive work now or in the future.

It consists of two parts:

• Computing resources: what is available for you and when to use them and for which purpose.
• Basic Linux shell introduction.

Who the course is for

This course is especially suitable to new researchers or students trying to understand computational/data analysis options available to them. It won’t go into anything too deep, but will provide you with a good background for your next steps: you will know what resources are available and know the next steps to use them
