Consult: Walk-In Consult with HPC staff

Speaker:

Date: Wednesday, November 14, 2018

Location: Bldg 50 coffee shop area

Description: All Helix or Biowulf users, and all those interested in using the systems, are invited to stop by and discuss problems and concerns, from scripting problems to node allocation, to strategies for a particular project, to anything that is affecting your use of Helix or Biowulf. We'll try to address simpler issues on the spot and follow up on more complex questions after the Walk-In. No appointments are necessary, and all problems are welcome. Look for the signs saying 'NIH HPC Walk-In Consults' on the tables to find us!

Seminar: How to Get the Most Out of Your Nephele Results

Speaker:

Date: Friday, November 16, 2018

Location: GoToWebinar

Videocast: yes
