Access advanced computing resources through Nautilus

Published on

Nautilus workshop: Nov. 12

The Division of Information Technology Research Support Solutions team (ITRSS) is hosting a workshop to help researchers access cutting-edge computing resources through Nautilus, a large-scale computer cluster.

The workshop will provide researchers with a hands-on introduction to leveraging the large, distributed computing resources available through the National Research Platform (NRP).

Researchers will learn how to migrate an artificial intelligence/machine learning workflow from their local computer or Swan to the NRP. By accessing Nautilus, researchers can gain access to a vast array of cutting-edge GPUs, which are ideal for facilitating AI research and accelerating their work.

  • When: Wednesday, Nov. 12, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Where: In-person at Memorial Union: 518 Hitt St., Room: Arvarh E. Strickland (S203)
  • Cost: Free

Agenda

  • 9 a.m. to noon: Nautilus training
  • Noon to 1 p.m.: Lunch break (lunch not provided)
  • 1 to 4 p.m.: Open office hours (optional)

Learning Objectives
