Event Description
The
University Research Computing Facility
(URCF) is pleased to announce our Summer 2025 workshop series.
The URCF provides support for computational research at Drexel. These workshops are open to all members of the Drexel community, and will be useful for anyone interested in using computation in their research, regardless of discipline. They’re designed to teach the fundamentals of research computing: the Unix shell, programming basics, and how to access and use
Picotte
(Drexel’s high-performance computing cluster). They’re interactive, so you’ll practice these skills during the workshop using your own computer.
-
Introduction to research computing on Picotte
-
When: Wednesday, June 25th, 10am-12pm
- What you’ll learn: How to use Picotte, Drexel’s high performance computing cluster, to tackle more substantial computational tasks that would be infeasible on a personal computer. You’ll learn how to connect to Picotte, how to move data to and from the cluster, and how to submit and scale up jobs.
- Required background: Basic Unix shell skills, from attending the previous workshop or otherwise.
-
Register here
All workshops will be conducted remotely on Zoom. Some require you to install and setup the relevant software on your computer beforehand. We’ll send setup instructions and Zoom links to the registered participants for each workshop beforehand.
You can also find information on URCF workshops on our
documentation site
, which will be kept up to date in the event of schedule or other changes.
All workshops are taught by James Porter, the URCF Research Computing Specialist. If you have any questions, please contact
