*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. In-person seminar series (with Zoom capabilities) and links to YouTube archives of past presentations. In-person workshops will be available again in Fall 2020.

Carbonate Supercomputer

This on-line 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.

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. This workshop will be available again in Fall of 2020.

Intro to R for Biologists

In this multi-day 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. Mar 31, Apr 7, and 14, 2020 via Online instruction. (This was originally scheduled as an in-person workshop, but has been converted to an Online workshop.)

Research Desktop (RED)

This on-line 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.

Unix: The Basics

Use this on-line course to 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. This workshop will be available again in Fall of 2020.

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. This workshop will be available again in Fall of 2020.

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. This workshop will be available again in Fall of 2020.

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. This workshop will be available again in Fall of 2020.

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. On-line April 9th.

Surveys in IU REDCap

This workshop introduces REDCap users to the survey feature. On-line course is April 16, 2020.

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 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.

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.
