The Research Computing group offers several types of training in the use of HPC resources. We have partnered with several organizations and also offer bespoke training sessions geared towards ODU researchers.
Documentation
Comprehensive documentation on the usage of the research computing resources are available here:
Globus documentation to come. (Globus Endpoint Name: odu#ResearchComputing)
Training
XSEDE is an NSF-funded collection of supercomputing resources and services, providing free training on HPC technologies like MPI, OpenMP and big data. The monthly HPC workshops are hosted by Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center on their Bridges HPC system.
Software Carpentry provides training on specific areas that researchers may be interested in including Unix shell, git, python and R. We currently have 4 individuals at ODU certified to teach software carpentry courses.
