Workshop on Basic Computing Services in the Physics Department - subMIT

America/New_York
26-414 (Kolker room)

26-414 (Kolker room)

Description

The SubMIT analysis facility is for anyone in the Physics Department and is a set of servers that provide interactive access to substantial storage at high speeds, enabling sophisticated data analyses with very fast turnaround times. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates massive processing resources for large-scale tasks by connecting to a set of powerful batch processing systems.

This one day workshop will provide an overview and updates on the status and plans for the system and project, as well as topical presentations on a range of use cases.

Additionally, there will be tutorial sessions.  Bring your laptop to run the examples in real-time or just sit back and listen to the accompanying instructional talk.

More information on the subMIT project as well as user documentation is available at https://submit.mit.edu

The workshop will take place in the Kolker Room (26-414) and a Zoom connection will be available at https://mit.zoom.us/j/95287651103 (requires MIT touchstone)

Refreshments will be provided during coffee breaks!
