2022 Research Computing Expo

ASU Research Computing maintains an institutionally-supported advanced computing system that enables ASU researchers to pursue large-scale discovery. The increased speed and scale of these resources have made this processing power more accessible and easy to use.

In August 2022, Research Computing held a two-day, in-person Expo open to all students, staff, and faculty across all disciplines. The Expo included an in-depth learning experience in advanced computing literacy for the ASU research community.

We welcome your feedback and suggestions on what you would like to see next year (rtshelp@asu.edu) and invite you to join us at the 2023 Research Computing Expo!
