*Supercomputing for Everyone Series

The Supercomputing for Everyone Series (S4ES) aims to bring more users into the realm of advanced computing, whether it be visualization, computation, analytics, storage, or any related discipline. Let Research Technologies staff take you to the next level of computing.

Available training in the Supercomputing for Everyone Series includes:

Augmented, Virtual, and Extended Reality Seminar Series

This informational series will show you all the services UITS has to offer, from 3D object acquisition to virtual reality for and research.

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.

Intro to High Performance Computing (HPC)

This workshop introduces IU faculty, staff, and students to high performance computing.

Unix: The Basics

Go from little to no experience to being functional with UNIX/LINUX in a supercomputing environment.

Storage for High Performance Computing

Learn the basics of using storage on IU’s supercomputing systems, including data lifecycles and types, moving data in and out of IU systems, and finish with hands-on experience.

Statistical and Numerical Software for HPC

Learn about SAS, R, and Matlab on HPC systems, including functions, submitting jobs, and setting environmental variables for performance boosts.

Intro to R for Biologists

In this workshop, learn about the Bioconductor Project and the basics of RStudio—data types, classes, objects, and more—and how to write and use a function.

Getting Started with IU REDCap

Are you a new user to IU REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture)? Do you need a refresher? Join us for this 90-minute workshop to learn how to use IU REDCap.

Surveys in IU REDCap

This workshop introduces REDCap users to the survey feature.

Introductory Parallel Programming for Supercomputers

A full-day workshop on the basics of parallel programming on a supercomputer. Harness multiple processors using threads and message passing.

Intermediate Parallel Programming for Supercomputers

A full-day workshop for those comfortable with basic UNIX/LINUX, and using Karst or a similar supercomputer, to become proficient in using MPI to solve parallel programing problems.

De novo assembly of transcriptomes using HPC resources

The National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS) offered this workshop on HPC usage and de novo transcriptome assembly.

Impact of Virtual Reality

The UITS Advanced Visualization Lab presented a seminar series on how the medium of virtual reality has proven to be useful in fields ranging from education and learning to training, science, design and evaluation.

Services for Digital Humanities and Creative Activities

This seminar series introduced humanities and creative practitioners to the services available to them at IU. It covered text analysis, virtual reality for teaching and art education, 3D object acquisition, augmented reality, and 360 panorama photography.

Workshops are offered at the IU Bloomington and IUPUI campuses.

Supercomputing for Everyone Series workshops and seminars are led by personnel from Research Technologies, a division of University Information Technology Services and a center in the Pervasive Technology Institute at Indiana University.
