*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:

Services for Digital Humanities and Creative Activities

These seminars introduce humanities and creative practitioners to IU services available to them. YouTube archives of past presentations is available.

Intro to High Performance Computing (HPC)

This workshop introduces IU faculty, staff, and students to high performance computing. Commensurate with the on-line Carbonate course. This workshop will be available again in Fall of 2020.

Jetstream Overview: A national research and education cloud

This workshop introduces IU researchers to Jetstream, a cloud resource supporting education and research.

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 24/7 via Expand.

Research Desktop (RED)

This online course helps users learn to use the graphical interface, RED, to access IU's supercomputers. Learn storage options, security, the RED desktop features, and practical experiences. This course is available 24/7 via Expand.

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 24/7 via Expand.

Intro to R for Biologists

In this workshop/course, learn about the Bioconductor Project and the basics of RStudio—data types, classes, objects, and more—and how to write and use a function. The online version of this course is available 24/7 via Expand.

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.

Parallel Programming for Data Science (Matlab, R, Python)

This workshop introduces strategies to utilize multiple processors to solve research problems using Matlab, R, and Python.

Parallel Computing for Modeling and Simulation (C, C++, Fortran)

This workshop presents an introduction to using threads and message passing in traditional languages on IU's supercomputers.

IU REDCap Seminars/ Webinars and Office Hours

These sessions allow users to consult with experts who will help them take advantage of all of the tools REDCap has to offer. Office hours on-line every Wednesday and in-person on selected Tuesdays. Webinars throughout the semester.

Getting Started with IU REDCap

This workshop is suitable for new users of IU REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) or as a refresher to learn about features and tips.

Surveys in IU REDCap

This workshop introduces REDCap users to the survey feature.

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.

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. View the course content online via GitHub or course presentations via YouTube.

Augmented, Virtual, and Extended Reality Seminar Series

This informational series highlights some of the services UITS has to offer, from 3D object acquisition to virtual reality for education and research. View the archived presentations via YouTube.

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. View the archived presentations via YouTube.

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.

Workshops are offered online and 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.
