Launch your career in supercomputing
Interested in tech infrastructure, computing or system administration? Join CU Boulder’s Research Computing team (CURC) for a free, immersive, five-day workshop to explore what it’s like to be a high-performance computing (HPC) system administrator—the people who power supercomputers!
Hosted Aug. 11–15 on the CU Boulder campus, this in-person experience is supported by an NSF grant and the Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Consortium (RMACC).
