SUMMARY:Save the Date: Common Pain-Points for New Users of HPC
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for those that joined us on April 29th\, 2025\, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM EST\, where three veteran HPC users shared their experiences involving common challenges that new researchers using HPC face. Each speaker gave a 10-minute presentation discussing the usual issues that give new users problems. This session focused on: (1) Files and Storage in the HPC environment (2) Command-line tips for new users\, and (3) Utilizing the HPC batch system efficiently. \nWhether you’re new to HPC or looking to refine your workflow\, this session provided valuable guidance to help you navigate the learning curve with greater confidence.  \nMissed it? No worries! See the slides and recording below.  \n			\n						Watch the Recording\n					 \nPresenters:\nGeorge Flanagin\, University of Richmond: George Flanagin is currently the senior member of the Academic Research Computing (ARC) group at the University of Richmond where he has served since 2013. The ARC is a consultative arm of the research faculty\, spanning Law and Economics as well as the familiar hard sciences. George is on several faculty committees at University of Richmond: Data Analytics and Data Science\, Digital Pedagogy\, and he is on the advisory board for the Center for Liberal Arts and Artificial Intelligence. He previously taught CS curriculum in the Electrical Engineering program at VCU. George mentors research assistants in high performance computing each summer\, teaches workshops on the subject\, and pursues his own research interests in NLP for English and Spanish\, and using conventional compiler technology to create application specific languages. Before returning to academic life in 2001\, George worked in Silicon Valley and Australia at HP Labs\, Boeing Military Aircraft\, and KLA. \nLishan Yang\, George Mason University: Lishan Yang is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at George Mason University. Her research interest falls in HPC reliability and GPUs. Her research supports HPC infrastructure; her research experiments are conducted on HPC clusters. She received a Ph.D. degree in the Department of Computer Science at William & Mary in 2022. \nEric Walter\, William & Mary: Eric Walter is the Executive Director of Research Computing at William & Mary in Williamsburg\, Virginia. In this role\, he assists researchers with computational projects and manages local computing resources\, including HPC clusters on the main campus and at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). He has served in this role for about 10 years and has extensive experience onboarding new users to HPC systems. \nView or download the presenter’s slides using the buttons below. \n			\n						George’s Slides\n					\n			\n						Lishan’s Slides\n					\n			\n						Eric’s Slides
