Getting Started with the Arkansas Research Platform at A-State

This series of two-day workshops is offered as part of the NSF-funded DART project and focuses on how faculty and students at institutions of higher education in Arkansas can gain access to and use the high performance computing resources in the State. Participants will learn by "coding along" with the instructors and will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

Who can attend?: This workshop is open to faculty, students, and staff enrolled at any Institute of Higher Education in Arkansas. No previous experience is required. You must be able to attend both days.

• Participants are encouraged to bring their own computer with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.); A small number of lab computers will be available by reservation only.
