Research Computing Expo
October 3 and 4, 2023 - Register here!

Research Computing will be sponsoring a two-day expo to prepare students, staff, and faculty for usage of the supercomputer and other critical services for research here at ASU. The intent of this Expo is to inspire and motivate our research community to use Research Computing's supercomputing systems and to showcase the important applications of these powerful resources. This event will include in-depth and interactive training for vital topics such as what is supercomputing, accessing the supercomputer and its graphic processing units (GPUs), popular software (including tutorials for Python, MATLAB, and R with special guests from NVIDIA and MathWorks), and tools for submitting, monitoring, and scaling up computations. 

Save the date for October 3 and 4 to join Research Computing and special guests from the Libraries, Data Science and Analytics, Knowledge Enterprise, NVIDIA, and MathWorks for this supercharged event!
