Abstract:
The University of Windsor is a founding member of SHARCNET, now a consortium of 20 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 to do high-performance, advanced, and cloud computing research. This presentation will introduce and explain these services, how such can be accessed and used by researchers and their students and will discuss aspects about this year's Resource Allocation Competition (RAC) applications.
