Training Sessions
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.

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 (Linux Basics, Part III), scientific programming languages, 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.
Sincerely,
GACRC Staff
Upcoming Sessions
The GACRC is going to host two rest training workshops in this September and eight training workshops in this October at Life Sciences Building, room C128. The workshops will provide an introduction to the Linux basics and GACRC Linux high performance computing (HPC) clusters and other computing resources.
