Welcome to my Blog

Over time, my research has led me to pick up plenty of useful coding tricks. Quite often, I stumble upon powerful tools that are more frequently used by engineers, developers, and data scientists. I've documented all these learnings and now, I'm gradually turning them into blog posts. My hope is that by sharing these insights, you might find that mastering these tools becomes a less time-consuming task. Think of this blog as a way of passing the baton, from my research to your hands.

This blog is intended as a practical guide to highlight these tools. It could benefit fellow researchers in the field of economics, social sciences, or anyone interested in expanding their toolkit.

Your input makes a real difference — I warmly welcome any suggestions or feedback you might have. Don't hesitate to drop me an email. The methods and tips I've shared offer tested solutions that have proven successful in my experience, yet they represent but a handful of the vast array of strategies available. We're on a collective journey of continual learning and improvement — a journey I'm humbly a part of, just like you.

Lastly, a quick note, I try to keep my posts current. So, the date you see on each post reflects the most recent update. Keep exploring, and happy coding!

#RoarCollab #PennState #HPC #cluster #tutorial #Linux

Overview Roar Collab is Penn State’s High-Performance Computing (HPC) Cluster. In this post, I will lay out the basic tools needed to use it. Here, I assume: You have already created an account and have access. Otherwise, follow the official documentation for instructions. Basic knowledge on Linux and using the comand line/bash shell. If not, check “Command Line Basics”. For the remainder of this tutorial, I will refer to Roar Collab as Rcollab.
