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.
Event Announcement
The GACRC is going to host ten training sessions in June 2016. These sessions will provide introductions to the GACRC Linux high-performance-computing(HPC) clusters, the Linux basics (including hands-on sessions), and Python language basics. To best accommodate our users' training needs, we also offer two interactive questioning-and-answering Office-Hour sessions in this month. We offer:
1. Four regular zcluster and Sapelo new user training sessions
2. Two Linux introductory sessions (I and II)
3. Two Linux hands-on practice sessions for GACRC users to obtain Linux hands-on working experiences
4. Two Python language sessions (I and II)
5. Two Office-Hour sessions
Training Location:
Davison Life Sciences Complex (Life Science Building), Room C128, 120 East Green St, Athens, GA 30602
Office-Hour Location:
GACRC Office Area, 4098C Stegeman Coliseum (http://gacrc.uga.edu/help/)

Who Should Attend: New HPC cluster and zcluster users, or researchers who are interested in learning about the GACRC computing resources and Linux basics (Linux OS, Linux filesystem, shell, and common commands, scripting, etc.).
How to Register
If you would like to attend, please respond by email to: zhuofei@uga.edu. Also please tell us which session 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 introduction, Linux working environment and utilities (Linux Part III), Bioinfomatics applications, scientific 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.
