• New User Training for Blue Waters on May 16th from 10AM to 3PM CDT locally and via YouTube Live

  Created by: gbauer 2018-04-26 12:31:17 (Channels: bestpractices|trainandopportunities)

  We would like to announce the next Blue Waters New User Training session to be held May 16 at NCSA (room 1040) and via YouTube Live.  It will run from 10 AM to 3 PM Central, with a lunch break at Noon Central.

  This session is intended for people with Blue Waters accounts, and most especially to the new Broadening Participation, GLCPC and Illinois allocations, as well as to new members of any other project team with an allocation.

  Details for this event are posted at: https://bluewaters.ncsa.illinois.edu/training#newuser

  To attend at NCSA register here: https://www.xsede.org/web/xup/course-calendar/-/training-user/class/610/session/1585

  To view the YouTube webcast register here: https://www.xsede.org/web/xup/course-calendar/-/training-user/class/610/session/1587

  Blue Waters' New User Training is a free online workshop for new users of the Blue Waters system. 

  This is a hands-on workshop in which participants will gain first-hand experience using the system.  While anyone interested may register to attend, only individuals that already have a Blue Waters account will be able to conduct the hands-on activities.

  Participants will learn how to log in, transfer data of various sizes to and from the system, manipulate available software stacks and environment, compile small projects, submit "jobs" and check on their status, control the level of parallelism in the jobs, tips and tricks for making jobs run sooner, and more. 

  The event will be hosted at NCSA and it will be webcast on YouTube Live.
