Researchers invited to Thursday computing presentation

UWindsor researchers are invited to an Oct. 3 presentation on high-performance, advanced and cloud research computing facilities and services available to the campus.

The presentation will be by Paul Preney, UWindsor’s on-campus SHARCNET staff person who offers support to researchers for its high-performance, advanced, storage and cloud computing needs.

The University of Windsor is a founding member of SHARCNET, the Shared Hierarchical Academic Research Computing Network, a consortium of 19 Ontario academic institutions, which provides high performance computing clusters, storage, and cloud resources and services to its researchers. SHARCNET is also part of Compute Ontario which is part of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (formerly Compute Canada). Collectively these organizations work together to seamlessly provide Canadian researchers access to compute clusters, storage, and clouds.

Thursday’s presentation will introduce and explain these facilities and services, and how they can be accessed and used by researchers and their students.

The presentation will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. in Workshop Room 239 on the second floor of the Joyce Entrepreneurship Centre. Registration is not required.
