Workshops and slides

The CARC team teaches regular workshops — from first-login basics to domain-specific computing — and guest-lectures in UNM courses that use CARC systems. Slides from those sessions are archived here as PDFs.

Upcoming workshops

Sessions are announced on the CARC workshops & seminars page and to users by email. Prefer video? Many workshop topics are also covered in the video tutorials.
