GACRC Training
The GACRC regularly hosts training sessions on a number of subjects relevant to the use of our computational and storage resources. Scheduled trainings will be announced through the GACRC mailing list.
NOTE: New users are required to attend an introductory training session and information about that will be sent once an account is requested.
Regular Training Announcement
In November 2017, the GACRC is going to host nineteen regular training sessions and one Zcluster-Sapelo migrating training sessions.

Please Note: A Sapelo user account will be granted by attending a Zcluster-Sapelo migrating training session.
To obtain a Sapelo user account, you are required to attend either (1) a zcluster-Sapelo migrating training session scheduled in September and October, or (2) a regular Introduction to HPC Using Sapelo Cluster at GACRC session, hosted weekly.
How to Register
If you would like to attend, please respond by email to: pakala@uga.edu. Also please tell us which session(s) you want to attend. You don't have to register the interactive Question-and-Answer sessions.
We have 25 seats in the lab room, so we have a 25 user/workshop limit. Please respond at your earliest convenience to register to guarantee your seat. You are welcome and encouraged to attend those workshops to learn about how to work with the HPC clusters at the GACRC.
The GACRC is going to host other training workshops and seminars covering various HPC topics, including HPC fundamental introduction, Linux introductory III (Linux working environment and utilities), Bioinfomatics applications on Sapelo cluster, Perl, R, C/C++/Fortran programming, etc., in the near future. We will announce those events when they are scheduled.
