Chapter 2 Introduction

The difficulty on finding instructional material that covers the complexities of writing scientific code, and deploying it in High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments led to the writing of this guide.

This is a non-exhaustive work, but rather a reference one, in which the author wishes to reduce the barriers of routine HPC workflows for Remote Sensing run at the McMaster University Remote Sensing Laboratory.

These guidelines are provided without any guarantee, including of support, but in a best effort to overcome the aforementioned barriers.
