Supercomputing for Everyone Series

The Supercomputing for Everyone Series (SC4ES) aims to bring more users into the realm of advanced computing, whether it be visualization, computation, analytics, storage, or any related discipline. Research Technologies can take you to the next level of computing. Some of the workshops are available as courses available 24/7 on-demand via Expand.

Available training in the Supercomputing for Everyone Series includes:

NCGAS Genomics Research webinar series

This monthly scientific series highlights the research of scientists who use computational resources provided by the National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS). *Webinars take place the second Tuesday of each month, 2-3pm EST, March-August, 2021.*

IU REDCap

IU's Research Electronic Data Capture (IU REDCap) is a self-managed, secure, web-based platform designed to support data collection and data management for research, operations support, and quality improvement projects. REDCap's easy-to-use, intuitive features allow users to rapidly build and manage secure online surveys and databases.

National Center for Genome Analysis Support

The National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS) offers workshops online and in-person at Indiana University (IUB and IUPUI) and at national/international conferences. Let NCGAS help you become more efficient in genome analysis via supercomputers and software designed specifically for your field of research/study.

Unix: The Basics

Use this online course to go from little to no experience to being functional with UNIX/LINUX in a supercomputing environment. *This course is available online 24/7 via Expand.*

Intro to High Performance Computing (HPC)

This workshop introduces IU faculty, staff, and students to high performance computing. Commensurate with the online Carbonate course. *View the course content online via GitHub and Google or archive of course presentations via YouTube.*

HPC Onboarding for Biologists

The National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS) provides this high performance computing (HPC) workshop to help new users learn about HPC resources available to them, other course offerings, and NCGAS services. *View the archive of May 2020 workshop. *The online version of this course is available online 24/7 via Expand.*

Carbonate Supercomputer

This online course helps users become familiar with IU's supercomputers; from storage and security best practices to job execution. It is commensurate with the in-person Intro to HPC workshop. *This course is available online 24/7 via Expand.*

Jetstream Overview: A national research and education cloud
