The Research Computing Series is a great opportunity to learn about the resources available to faculty, staff and students. The Spring 2024 Research Computing Series will feature two sessions.
The April 10 session will feature a presentation by Collin Capano, director of the Open Source Project Office (OSPO). Capano is a research professor in the Department of Physics who has over a decade of experience in open source code development. His session will focus on the OSPO, which was established with a grant from the Sloan Foundation to serve as the center of competency for open source operations and structure on campus.
The April 17 session will showcase insights from the ITS Research Computing team, focusing on recent enhancements to campus resources that are available to researchers across the research landscape. Topics will include a discussion on the augmentation of compute capacities, refinements in documentation and a concise review of cluster resources. The session will also feature spotlights on the HTC OrangeGrid cluster and the updated and highly anticipated new HPC Zest cluster, illustrating how these developments bolster the computational infrastructure available to the community.
