HPC Working Environments

Instructions and recommendations on setting up your working environments and workflows on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems such as:

• Digital Research Alliance of Canada (formerly Compute Canada and Westgrid clusters)
• UBC ARC Chinook
• UBC ARC Sockeye

These systems use similar software configurations. Where procedures differ between systems, this will be indicated. Otherwise, a generalized approach will be used in the documentation that follows.

This documentation was written to accommodate users on a variety of operating systems, including Windows, MacOS and Linux distributions. Corrections, further documentation, feedback and other contributions are highly welcomed.

• UBC Advanced Research Computing Resources
• Digital Research Alliance of Canada
• Logging in remotely via SSH
• Set Up an SSH Key
• Loading Software
• Setting up a Python Environment
