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 March 2020, the GACRC hosts ten regular training sessions (Sapelo2 cluster new user training and Linux basics).

We offer:

1. Sapelo2 cluster new user training (4 sessions)

2. Linux training for Linux-inexperienced cluster new users (4 sessions)

3. Python basics (2 sessions)


Training Location:

Davison Life Sciences Complex (Life Science Building), Room C128

120 East Green Street, Athens, GA 30602

How to Register

Please Note, the training workshops Using Sapelo2 Cluster at the GACRC and Use Linux on Cluster are ONLY offered to new users who need computing user accounts on the GACRC Sapelo2 cluster, or any current users who have never attended the GACRC Sapelo2 cluster new user training before. Please ask your group PI/UGA faculty member to send us a request for you, using the GACRC User Account Request form at https://uga.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=25839

If you want to attend Python Basics and Conda basics training sessions, please send us a request using the GACRC Training Request form at https://uga.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=25852 . In your request, 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.
