High-Performance Computing (HPC)

By
Level
Beginner

The dimensionality and size of datasets in many fields of neuroscience research require massively parallel computing power.  Fortunately, the maturity and accessibility of virtualization technologies has made it feasible to run the same analysis environments on platforms ranging from single laptop computers up to high-performance computing networks. This course provides introductory overviews of existing cloud computing infrastructure which enables neuroscientists around the world to access crucial resources for their analyses and model design.
