Training

At the UF Research Computing we strive to make our resources accessible, efficient, and easy to use. An important part of the effective research computing is the knowledge of how to apply the many available tools in a productive and efficient manner. Comprehensive and clear documentation, well-structured training, and individual help we provide are all means of achieving that goal. We run a series of training sessions and tutorials during each semester of the school year and in the Summer. These sessions are mostly oriented towards biological computing, but many of them reflect the aspects of the HPC resources that apply to other disciplines as well. See the Training Category pages for the records of the previous sessions, to download presentations and handouts, and to propose topics of interest to you.

The previous training series included 'Introduction to UF HPC', 'Introduction to Linux Command Line and Job Submission Scripts', 'Introduction to Galaxy at UF HPC', 'Running phylogenetics applications at UF HPC', 'Modules and basic submission scripts', 'Working with NGS data', 'Introduction to Perl', 'Perl in practice', 'Statistical analysis at UF HPC', 'R and SAS in practice', and 'Parallel Computing'.

We are currently running the Summer of 2012 series of training sessions.
