  • IT Research CyberInfrastructure (IT-RCI): Office Hours

    October 22, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
    Location: 002C Smith Hall, Conference Room, University of Delaware or virtually via Zoom

    Welcome to IT-RCI Office Hours!

    Do you have a HPC or research computing question that would benefit from some direct in-person help or maybe some one on one consulting with IT-RCI staff?

    IT-RCI staff will be available for office hours on Wednesdays @ 11am - noon each week in room 002C Smith Hall, Conference Room, University of Delaware or virtually via Zoom.

    Please take the opportunity to stop by 002C Smith Hall, Conference Room, University of Delaware or connect virtually via Zoom to meet some of the IT-RCI staff and get help with your research computing questions. We will do our best to help you at this time, however if it requires in depth work or help from other IT-RCI staff then a ticket request will be submitted.  

    We would greatly appreciate any feedback and suggestions, please email researchcomputing@udel.edu.

    Thank you.

  • ACCESS HPC Workshop: GPU Programming Using OpenACC

    November 3, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
    Location: 304 Pearson Hall (Studio C)

    OpenACC is the accepted standard using compiler directives to allow quick development of GPU capable codes using standard languages and compilers. It has been used with great success to accelerate real applications within very short development periods. This workshop assumes knowledge of either C or Fortran programming. It will have a hands-on component using the Bridges-2 computing platform at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.

    This will be an IN PERSON event hosted by various satellite sites such as the University of Delaware in 304 Pearson Hall (Studio C), there WILL NOT be a direct to desktop option for this event. 

     For details and registration see https://sites.udel.edu/it-rci/training/access-hpc-workshops-ud-satellite-site/
