With all of the conferences that are moving online, I want to call your attention to one in particular: PEARC20.  This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about a variety of topics for only $100, including any tutorials or workshops. Students attend for only $50, including any tutorials or workshops.

Practice & Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC) is focused on the research computing environment and many of the tutorials still reflect that: 

 

  • An Introduction to Advanced Features in MPI, Open OnDemand, XDMoD, and ColdFront: an HPC center management toolset

 

  • Empowering Research Computing at Your Campus Through the Open Science Grid.

 

  • Easy Deployment of Edge Services for the ScienceDMZ with SLATE

 

In recent years they have expanded their scope to include additional researcher engagement focus:

 

  • Deep Dive into Constructing Containers for Scientific Computing and Gateways

 

Software of interest beyond research computing: 

  • Python 201: Building Better Scientific Software in Python 
  • The Streetwise Guide to Jupyter Security

and collaboration with other communities:

  • Supporting Computational and Data-intensive Research through Research Computing and Library Collaboration 
  • The Important Role People Play in Advancing the Use of Cloud Cyberinfrastructure in Research
