HBS Compute Grid training is an hour-long seminar that goes beyond the basics to discuss the integrated technologies used to provide this advanced computing resource for HBS researchers and their collaborators. In a conversational style, we will touch upon:

  • Opening introductions and Q&A
  • Integrated technologies of login, storage, and compute
  • Job information and control
  • Making appropriate RAM & CPU choices
  • Troubleshooting & getting help
  • Important take-home points

To prepare for the session, we highly recommend that attendees review our training materials beforehand.

We wish to help you understand how to utilize these technologies more effectively in order to accelerate your research outcomes and to help you be successful!

Configuring Your NoMachine and HBSGrid Environment

From logging in to running applications to working with files and storage, using the HBSGrid is akin to having another desktop or laptop computer: working there can either be a breeze or a major time sink. So why not customize it to make your work more frictionless?

We'll walk through a number of customization and configuration changes one can make to multiple touch points (NoMachine, Gnome, Nautilus, shell) that will save your time and sanity.

We are working on making this session recording more widely accessible here, but in the meantime, members of the HBS community can access the captioned video at the following link: https://courseware.hbs.edu/video/?v=1_dqpf1k1s

Software Modules on the HBSGrid, Bob Freeman

Software modules have arrived on the HBSGrid! The modules provide users with flexible access to multiple versions of software (e.g., Python 2.7, Python 3.6, etc.), software in home folders and project folders, and settings defaults for specific projects. One no longer has to use only the software version that was previously installed on the HBSGrid. Bob Freeman presented this special live demo on how to start using these modules, how these will work in NoMachine, and best practices around their use.
