1. April 8,2026: Parallelizing Massively Independent Tasks - GNU Parallel and Job Arrays
| Topic | Parallelizing Massively Independent Tasks - GNU Parallel and Job Arrays |
| Date | April 8,2026 |
| Time | 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM |
| Place | LSU Main Library 241A and Zoom Online |
| Description | In scientific computing disciplines such as bioinformatics, computational biology, and other data-intensive fields, many tools and workflows remain serial in nature. Running a large number of these independent jobs efficiently on a multi-core HPC platform can be challenging. This training will introduce two powerful approaches for handling such workloads namely GNU Parallel and SLURM Job Arrays. This training session covers efficient execution and management of large collections of independent or parameter-sweep tasks using GNU Parallel and SLURM Job Arrays, leveraging both single-node and multi-node HPC environments for scalable, high-throughput processing. Through hands-on, real-world examples, we will demonstrate how to launch, monitor, and optimize massive batches of serial or lightweight jobs using GNU Parallel and SLURM Job Arrays, highlighting their similarities, differences, and best-use scenarios.

2. April 15,2026: Molecular Dynamics
| Topic | Molecular Dynamics |
| Date | April 15,2026 |
| Time | 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM |
| Place | LSU Main Library 241A and Zoom Online |
| Description | Molecular dynamics simulation (MD) is a computational technique that is used to study the dynamics of molecules and atoms over time. The tutorial will discuss the essentials of the classical molecular dynamics simulations. The basic system setup, initialization, and analysis for widely used simulation packages such as LAMMPS, GROMACS, AMBER and NAMD on LONI and LSU HPC clusters will be reviewed. Prerequisites

3. April 29,2026: Introduction to Tiger Den: LSU's Research Data Storage System
| Topic | Introduction to Tiger Den: LSU's Research Data Storage System |
| Date | April 29,2026 |
| Time | 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM |
| Place | LSU Main Library 241A and Zoom Online |
| Description | The purpose of this training is to familiarize LSU researchers with Tiger Den, the on‑campus research data storage solution. Tiger Den provides a total capacity of 3 PB and up to 1 TB of free storage for LSU‑affiliated researchers, and offers a secure, centrally managed environment for storing research datasets. The session guides participants through the process of requesting an account, navigating the Tiger Den management portal, and using the system effectively. This training is intended for faculty and research staff seeking reliable, cost‑effective data storage solutions.
