COMPLECS: Linux Tools for File Processing | 02/01/24 - 02:00 PM - 03:30 PM EST | Many computational and data processing workloads require pre-processing of input files to get the data into a format that is compatible with the user’s application and/or post-processing of output files to extract key results for further analysis. While these operations could be done by hand, they tend to be time-consuming, tedious and, worst of all, error prone. In this session we cover the Linux tools awk, sed, grep, sort, head, tail, cut, paste, cat and split, which will help users to easily automate repetitive tasks. |
Open OnDemand Tips and Tricks Call | 02/01/24 - 01:00 PM - 01:30 PM EST | Hosted by the community, tips and tricks webinars share best practices of all things Open OnDemand. They take place on the first Thursday of every month at 1 p.m. ET. Recordings of previous events are available on the Open OnDemand website. |
