UO Libraries, Research Advanced Computer Services (RACS), and the Lewis Center for Neuroimaging are pleased to announce our pilot Introduction to High Performance Computing workshop series. Targeted towards graduate students interested in conducting computational research, these interactive workshops will introduce UNIX commands, bash scripting, file management, OnDemand, Slurm, JupyterLab integration, and other best practices for working on Talapas, UO's high performance computing cluster. Learn from experts in high performance computing and neuroscience!

No prior experience with the command line or high-performance computing is required, though participants may benefit from knowledge of a programming language like Python or R.
