Introduction to the Research Computing Center

Dr. H. Birali Runesha, Assistant Vice President for Research Computing and Director of the Research Computing Center

The Research Computing Center (RCC) is a centralized service that provides high-end computing and visualization resources to researchers at the University. This presentation will discuss services offered by the RCC and provide information on how to get a computing or storage resource allocation, the Cluster and Consultant Partnership Programs, and an overview of the computational resources and performance of RCC’s computing infrastructure. The hands-on component of this workshop will begin by giving you the opportunity to create an account on Midway, a high performance computer that serves the UChicago research community with approximately 5000 Intel Sandy Bridge processing cores, Nvidia GPUs, and large amounts of shared memory. Attendees will be able to use their RCC accounts to compile code, submit jobs using the SLURM batch scheduler, explore the software module system, and learn about rcchelp, a custom online documentation system.

Level: This is an INTRODUCTORY level course, for people with little or no experience in the topic.

Prerequisites: Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop to participate in the hands-on session.
