Research Computing - What to do when your work gets too big for your laptop

May 4 & 5, 2026

12:00 PM - 1:30 PM PST

UC Santa Barbara Library, Room 1312

Instructors: Jay Chi, Seth Erickson, Brian Emery

Helpers:

Join us for this 1.5-hour seminar on using Research Computing resources at UCSB. We’ll present several case studies for putting High Performance Computing (HPC) resources to use, including on boarding, moving from local GUI interfaces (e.g. R, jupyter, etc.) to workflows for using HPC machines with web interfaces, the command line, or queue based methods.

The seminar is designed for researchers tackling complex projects that exceed their laptop's capabilities. We will have about 50 minutes covering the examples, followed by pizza, and 30 minutes of Q&A and/or further specific demonstrations.
