CI Pathways: Cyberinfrastructure Overview

Contact name: Sandra Kappes
Contact email: kappes@illinois.edu

This session will provide an overview of the essential components and practical applications of cyberinfrastructure, starting with an introduction to its definition and key components including compute, data, software, networking, and people in the context of the NSF ACCESS program. Participants will learn the importance and benefits of integrating cyberinfrastructure into their research processes. The session will then explore various computational resources available to researchers, such as high-performance computing (HPC), to help participants identify the best options for their needs. To illustrate the real-world application of cyberinfrastructure, examples of successful research projects will be presented.

Registration is required by

March 14

Getting Started on NCSA's Delta Supercomputer

Contact name: Sandra Kappes
Contact email: kappes@illinois.edu

Learn how to use NCSA's Delta supercomputer. In this 90-minute virtual workshop, you will learn about Delta's advanced architecture that supports a wide range of scientific domains, particularly those that benefit from GPU acceleration such as machine learning. Hands-on exercises will teach how to access Delta, manage the user environment, and run jobs and software. The content is suitable for researchers and students new to working with a cluster and wanting to know more about Delta. 

The workshop consists of three sections:

A presentation introducing the Delta's technical and physical resources, capabilities, and organization 

Hands-on exercises teaching how to access Delta, manage its programming environment, and run jobs/software

Q&A session
