Introduction to Using New Cedar and Graham Clusters

The most extensive renewal of advanced research computing resources in Canada’s history is well underway. Arbutus (University of Victoria), Cedar (Simon Fraser University) and Graham (University of Waterloo) are state-of-the-art systems with a combined computing power of nearly 70,000 cores.

This is an introductory session to using Graham and Cedar. Participants will learn about their capabilities, file systems, available software, the Slurm scheduler, and how to get up and running. The session provides an overview and quick-start guidance.

In addition to these, our partners, SHARCNET and WestGrid, are offering webinar sessions. You can view their upcoming sessions on our training page.

A series of training videos are also available on our YouTube channel.

While this new national infrastructure is not located in Atlantic Canada, ACENET will continue to be the primary support organization for research groups in Atlantic Canada, providing training, research consulting, and troubleshooting.
