Video Introduction to the Xanadu Cluster

This document is intended for newcomers (and those looking for a refresh) to the Xanadu computer cluster. It will guide you through a series of videos introducing basic higher performance computing concepts, the Xanadu cluster, the linux operating system and SLURM, the job scheduler used on Xanadu. It does not assume any prior knowledge of high performance computing, linux, or SLURM.

The videos can all be found on the CBC's YouTube channel.
