HPC Training
Upcoming Training
The goal of each training below is to help you become comfortable enough with the material that you will be able to continue learning the topic on your own.If the tutorial has an Access Grid link you will have to have an access grid node at your site and get your operator to set up the meeting. You will also have to make sure you have an account on the correct HPC machines for either LSU or LONI and access to a computer that is connected to the internet so that you can follow the hands on tutorials. You will need to register with HPC Training through the "Register" link below.
