Welcome!
The 2022 Compute Ontario Summer School for Advanced Research Computing will begin on May 30th, 2022 and will run until August 5th, 2022, offering virtual (online) workshops on a variety of topics, including advanced research computing basics, high performance computing tools, programming languages, machine learning, visualization, programming GPUs, and bioinformatics. The Summer School workshops are at the beginner-to-intermediate levels of difficulty. Prerequisites are listed in each workshop's description.
Registration
One can register/enrol for one, some, or all of the workshops in the Summer School. The ability to register/enrol starts approximately two weeks prior to each workshop. (The same account is also used to sign up to receive general notices.)
In order to register/enrol, you need to be able to log into the 2022 Compute Ontario Training site in one of two ways:
- Using your account with the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (Alliance in short; formerly Compute Canada).
NOTE: Alliance accounts are available for free for Canadian academia. If you are a student or postdoc or researcher (not a faculty), your supervisor needs to get an account first before you can apply for one. Click this link for instructions on how to apply for an account if you don't already have one.
- If you do not have (and cannot get) an Alliance account, then you can request a Compute Ontario Training web site only account. To request such, send an email to preney@sharcnet.ca from the email account with the subject Compute Ontario Summer School Account you want to have associated with such.
Signing Up to Receive General Notices
To help avoid missing registration windows for the various workshops, you may also sign up to receive general notifications for Compute Ontario Summer School workshops as follows:
- Click this link (link opens in a new window) to access our General Notices forum.
- If you weren't previously logged in, then click the Continue button and log in. (See the Registration section above on how to log in to our training site.)
- After logging in you will be sent back to this page, click the Enrol me button.
Schedule
Workshops typically take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, in either the morning or afternoon. For specific times, please see each course's description or top of its main page. (After registration opens for that workshop, one can enrol/unenrol in the linked-to workshop after first logging in.)
