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 a Sapelo2 cluster introductory training session and information about that will be sent once an account is requested.
Regular Training Announcement
In May 2019, the GACRC is going to host eight regular training sessions (Sapelo2 cluster new user training, Linux basics, Python) and one topical session on using Conda environment on Sapelo2 cluster.
We offer:
1. Sapelo2 cluster new user training (3 sessions)
2. Linux training for Linux-inexperienced cluster new users (3 sessions)
3. Python (1 sessions)
4. Using Conda environment on Sapelo2 cluster (1 session)
Training Location:

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.
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.
The GACRC Web Training page can be found at http://gacrc.uga.edu/help/training/ and the GACRC Wiki Training page can be found at https://wiki.gacrc.uga.edu/wiki/Training, from which you can find detailed information about upcoming and past training sessions from GACRC and download training materials.
