DCC Workshops

We recommend that all DCC users attend a training session.

  • Intro to the DCC

    This 1-hour session introduces new users to the essential tasks for using the DCC, including logging in, transferring files, and accessing computing tools like Jupyter, Rstudio, and MATLAB through OnDemand. These resources available are designed to allow researchers to process data sets too large for an average computer.
