The Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC) is gearing up to offer
workshops during the Fall 2023 semester, presented by University of New Mexico
Research Assistant Professor Matthew Fricke. The workshops are tailored to
cater to both beginners and intermediate users of high-performance computing
(HPC) resources. In these workshops, participants will learn about Linux and
HPC, computer-related topics that are used for advanced research.

For the Fall 2023 semester, the workshops will be offered both in-person and
on Zoom. "We've test-run this approach during the summer with remarkable
success," shares Fricke. "We're thrilled to bring this flexible format to the
fall semester, ensuring that every aspiring researcher has the opportunity to
harness the power of HPC."

The workshops take a customized approach, as each class is provided with a
thoughtfully tailored curriculum, catered to their unique research interests.
From Gaussian for chemistry enthusiasts to magnetar visualization for
astronomers to COVID simulations for immunology scholars, Fricke brings the
intersection of research and computation to life in a captivating and engaging
manner.

The beginner workshop serves as a stepping stone for those new to Linux and
HPC, introducing them to essential Linux tasks, data transfer, and writing
basic Linux shell scripts. Attendees are also guided through the intricacies
of running programs on the computer clusters, making use of the SLURM system,
a free and open-source job scheduler for Linux.

In the intermediate workshop, participants dive deeper into HPC. They learn
how to use more advanced tools and run programs that use many computer
processors to solve big problems faster.

CARC has partnered with University Libraries, integrating HPC workshops with
coding and data-science workshops on a common scheduling system. This
collaboration enables CARC users to easily access R, Python, and other courses
offered by library staff, while students browsing the library’s events listing
can discover CARC’s HPC workshops.
