The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to announce a regular series of remote workshops on High Performance Computing topics. These hands-on workshops provide a convenient way for researchers to learn about the latest techniques and technologies of current interest in HPC. We are currently accepting satellite sites for
- Monday/Wednesday, September 15/17, 2025 – Machine Learning and BIG DATA
- Tuesday/Wednesday, October 14-15, 2025 - Machine Learning and BIG DATA
- Monday, November 3, 2025 - GPU Programming Using OpenACC
You, or another representative of your institution, should contact us if you are interested in hosting a remote site. The number of sites will be limited for any given event. Please note that this is not individual student enrollment; we will post registration pages for student enrollment once the remote sites have been determined.
Unless otherwise stated, this series will run from 11AM-5PM Eastern Time each day so as to encourage participation in all time zones.
These workshops are very hands-on, and use the foremost available platforms for their subject matter.
Satellite sites MUST be able to provide a facility capable of two-way video for the duration of the workshop. We send two unique zoom feeds, one which will have a full talking head of the instructor and the second which will provide a full screen of the slide decks. An example connection instruction can be found here:

There should also be a full time TA available to assist with local technical issues. An AV system test will be scheduled sometime before each workshop. Failure to complete a successful AV test prior to an event and subsequent AV issues during the workshop may affect the priority level of your site for future events. Address any questions regarding course content to John Urbanic (urbanic@psc.edu) and questions regarding registration to Tom Maiden (tmaiden@psc.edu).
