As part of the EPSCoR Track 1 DART project, the Cyberinfrastructure Research Theme will host a series of two-day workshops this Fall. These workshops are part of a series that we are calling the “Getting Started with the Arkansas Research Platform” series.

The content of each workshop is the same and focuses on how faculty and students can gain access to, and use, the high performance computing resources in the State. All workshops are in-person and will not be recorded. Additional workshops may be added if there is sufficient interest.

There is no cost to register or attend these workshops.
