View in browser Dear SDSC Collaborators, Partners and Friends:   Through a broad portfolio of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) resources, the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) — part of UC San Diego's Halıcıoğlu School of Data Science and Computing — offers robust training programs for both seasoned users and newcomers across many disciplines.   As we head into the summer season, we know you are juggling a full schedule. Below are a few webinars covering the non-programming skills needed to effectively use supercomputers — ones that might just fit into your busy summer plans. Topics include AI resources, using containers, intermediate Linux and batch scheduling. The general community is welcome and there is no cost to attend.   You'll find a full list of SDSC's upcoming webinars, workshops and more below. We hope to see you soon!   Regards, SDSC Program and Events Team   Upcoming Events       Using Expanse AI Resource 101 (Advanced Computing Series) Tuesday, June 9, 2026, from 11 am – 12 pm (Pacific Time) - virtual The Expanse AI Resource is available under the NAIRR Pilot program. In this talk we will detail the H100 GPU node architecture, provide examples on usage of AI tools and frameworks, and provide information on the storage options. Registration is free   Containers (COMPLECS) Thursday, June 11, 2026, from 11 am – 12:30 pm (Pacific Time) - virtual Containers provide a lightweight, portable way to package and run applications consistently across different computing environments. In HPC and research workflows, they simplify software deployment and ensure reproducibility. Registration is free   Intermediate Linux (COMPLECS) Thursday, July 9, 2026, from 11 am – 12:30 pm (Pacific Time) - virtual Linux command line interface skills are essential for advanced cyberinfrastructure. This session covers filesystem hierarchy, permissions, links, wildcards, finding files, environment variables, modules, config files, aliases, history & Bash scripting tips. Registration is free   Getting Started with Batch Job Scheduling (Batch computing Part II) (COMPLECS) Thursday, August 20, 2026, from 11 am – 12:30 pm (Pacific Time) - virtual High-performance computing (HPC) systems rely on batch job schedulers like Slurm to efficiently and fairly manage shared computing resources through scripted job submissions. Here, we introduce new users to distributed batch job schedulers, guiding them through writing and submitting their first Slurm job scripts while covering best practices, resource requests, and useful environment variables. Registration is free   Linux Tools for Text Processing (COMPLECS) Thursday, September 3, 2026, from 11 am – 12:30 pm (Pacific Time) - virtual An overview of commonly used Linux tools for searching and manipulating text. We progress from the simplest tools, such as head, tail, to more complex tools such as grep, awk and sed.
