Hello Research Computing Community,
In this newsletter for the week of September 6th, 2022! …
Happy September to the MU HPC community!
We hope everyone had a great summer and a safe Labor Day. We have a few short announcements, specifically that Clark will be off line this Saturday morning. Please read below for more detail.
Also, we are excited to announce our RSS Canvas Course; a resource course that is open to all of our users. If you have any person’s in your lab that could benefit from our Cluster trainings, but would prefer to do them in their own time (rather than at one of our live trainings), please send them our way!
For ongoing engagement with RSS, please join and participate in the RSS Community Team!

Lewis Maintenance Tuesday, September 13th 8 AM
Next routine maintenance for Lewis is scheduled for Tuesday 8/09 at 8AM.

NVIDIA is offering a 1 hour seminar to introduce researchers to MONAI – Medical Imaging PyTorch, an open source project for Medical Imaging PyTorch. This development is much faster than native PyTorch, with it you can leverage APIs and MONAI libraries to accelerate Imaging Research. A future session may be added for MONAI Label – AI Assisted Annotation Tool that is usable in research and clinical contexts.
