Did you know that the UC San Diego Geisel Library offers workshops for research computing? These workshops are aimed at individuals with little or no previous experience with computer programming or Supercomputing.
Can your research benefit by attending one or both of these?
Software Carpentry Workshop, May 23-24, 2017
The UC San Diego Library is hosting a 2 day Software Carpentry (SWC) workshop covering introductory Unix Shell, Git/Github, and Python. Software Carpentry lessons are structured for novices and NO programming experience is necessary!
For further information, see https://ucsdlib.github.io/2017-05-23-UCSDHPC/ or contact Reid Otsuji, rotsuji@ucsd.edu
Date: May 23-24, 2017
Location: Biomedical Library Building, Classroom 4
Time: 9:00a – 4:30p
Fee: $20
Seats are limited.
There will be a follow up 1-day High Performance Computing workshop held on May 31st . If you attend the SWC workshop and would like to learn about HPC register today for the HPC workshop (below).
Introducing High Performance Computing, May 31, 2017
This workshop will be taught by Andre Zonca, High Performance Computing specialist at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. This is a hands-on introduction to Supercomputing to learn how to connect to the UCSD Supercomputer and launch simple parallel jobs. Targeted to people with NO previous experience in Supercomputing!
