Introduction to HPC at ZIH - Workspaces and data transfer

Chapter: Workspaces and data transfer

This video introduces workspaces and how to work with them. Additionally, data transfer from and to the HPC file systems are explained.

The Center of Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH) at TU Dresden, offers an Introduction course for HPC (High Performance Computing) system users twice a year. The presentation was recorded and divided into chapters, which were then respoken using an AI-generated voice. The videos and their content are a 'work in progress' and will be continuously updated.

Version: November 2025
