UFIT Research Computing User DocumentationΒΆ

Note

This is our new documentation site. It replaces the previous Help Documentation. Both the structure and the content are subject to frequent changes in the near future.

Welcome to the University of Florida Information Technology Research Computing User Documentation and HiPerGator Compendium. This is a refresh of our original Help and Documentation site.

General information about RC, news, announcements, policies, purchase request and account request forms are located on our main website. All other information you may need to become a proficient and effective HiPerGator (HPG) user, including any extra information about using particular applications on HPG, available reference data, services, and code examples is located in this compendium.

Our documentation is split into sections you can explore via the links in the navigation panel at the top or by following the book outline navigation at the bottom.

New users are highly encouraged to take the New User Training course to familiarize themselves with using a supercomputer for research, save time, and avoid many beginner mistakes.
