NCSA Training Opportunities

	Training

NCSA's Scientific Computing division offers training in three areas: parallel computing, virtual environments, and distributed computing.

Web-based Training: WebCT-HPC is the Alliance site offering online training and courses so you can learn at any time and at any location. Take a look at the available courses.
Alliance Training: Web-based HPC tutorials, workshops, and reference materials classified by length, depth, breadth, target audience, type of material, and presentation format. Also a schedule of training events from Alliance partners.
High-Performance Training: The Consulting Services team offers low-cost monthly training on the center's high-performance systems. Introductory and intermediate training alternate each month. Select from among the modules, fully described online.
Virtual Environments Training: The Visualization and Virtual Environments Group offers a course on programming for a project-based virtual reality system. This two-day module gets you started on setting up such a system at your home site and introduces libraries, sound servers, and interface and navigation options. Check out the online materials for self-study.
Distributed Computing Workshops: National Laboratory for Applied Network Research/Applications Support (NLANR) distributed computing workshops are also taught in Champaign-Urbana and in other locations.
Access Events Calendar: NCSA's online magazine Access also maintains a calendar that includes other training and workshops throughout the Alliance. Check here for seminars and training events offered by other Alliance groups.
