This comprehensive introduction to high-performance computing prepares attendees to use Talapas, UO's supercomputer. These interactive workshops introduce UNIX commands, Bash scripting, file management, OnDemand, Slurm, JupyterLab integration, and Talapas best practices. Workshops are taught by a team of instructors from UO Libraries, Research Advanced Computer Services (RACS), and the Lewis Center for Neuroimaging. Learn from experts in high performance computing and neuroscience!

No prior experience with the command line or high-performance computing is required, though participants may benefit from knowledge of a programming language like Python or R.
