Join Tom Milledge, Duke Research Computing, to learn about XSEDE on Sept. 29.
XSEDE: Big Iron Computing for Duke Researchers Date: Tuesday, September 29
Time: 1:30-4:30 pm.
Location: RENCI Conference Room, OIT Telcom Bldg. (campus map)
Direct Registration Link: https://training.oit.duke.edu/enroll/index.php/public_research/show/1257 Session Description: XSEDE (https://www.xsede.org/) integrates HPC clusters, data resources and tools. Currently, XSEDE resources include more than a petaflop of computing capability and more than 30 petabytes of online and archival data storage. Researchers can also access more than 100 discipline-specific databases. XSEDE provides access to resources that cannot be provided on campus, such as users who need access to very large parallel jobs, huge amounts of total jobs, or large data access and visualization. Duke participates in the XSEDE Campus Champions program and this class will include a tutorial on using XSEDE clusters. To participate in these hands-on exercises, please sign-up for an XSEDE account (https://www.xsede.org/using-xsede#portal) no later than Friday, September 25th, and bring a laptop to the workshop.
Registration is now open for two Introduction to Linux training sessions and one A Little More Advanced Linux session being offered in September. Do register early (as seats tend to fill very quickly) & plan to bring your laptop with you.

The purpose of Docker Day II is to bring together people to share experiences — the triumphant and the developing — related to software containerization, with a special focus on Docker. Presenters who are lined up include Rob Carter, Chris Collins, Dan Leehr, and Mark McCahill from Duke and Yang Lei (IBM), Michael Steagall (RENCI), and Clayton Coleman and Ryan Cook (both from Red Hat). The topics will be wide ranging, including containerization on different kinds of infrastructures and meeting a range of requirements in enterprise, instructional, and research computing. Lunch will be provided. Visit the Research Computing Blog for more details: https://rc.duke.edu/duke-docker-day-ii-15-april/. Go here to register: http://training.oit.duke.edu/research.
Join us for a basic introduction to Linux systems in use in many research departments around campus. Attendees will have access to a Linux computational server to practice various tasks and perform labs in order to familiarize themselves with the environment. The class materials will cover a variety of tasks from those often considered simple, such as logging in, through more advanced tasks like building an application. The course includes lectures, informal Q & A, and hands-on activities/labs. For complete details and to register, visit:
