Training
NERSC offers a wide range of learning opportunities to its users and the wider scientific computing community. We post recordings of most past training events on the NERSC YouTube channel. You can access past events (2024 and earlier) in the training archive.
Get started
Whether you are brand new to high performance computing, know just a little, or know a bit, but are new to NERSC, we have learning resources for you.
Read the guide
Don’t know a job queue from a file system? Our “Absolute Beginner’s Guide,” takes you step-by-step through the concepts of a high performance computing environment before you begin.
Ready to jump in?
If you prefer to learn by doing, our welcome packet provides some information about NERSC and then tells you how to dive right in with some common commands.
Need a hand right now?
Watch our short videos on how to perform basic tasks like logging in from the command line, logging in from Jupyter Notebooks, and submitting your first GPU job.
