Introduction
This course has been developed within the framework of HPC.NRW project. It has been developed for users to get a good working knowledge of Linux to further use it for accessing and using High performance computing (HPC) cluster accounts.
Linux powers 100% of the world's top 500 supercomputers, the majority of financial trades worldwide, most of the servers powering the Internet, and over two billion Android devices. In short, Linux is everywhere. It appears in many different architectures, from mainframes to server to desktop to mobile and on a staggeringly wide variety of hardware. So learning to work with Linux will certainly help you in many ways.
