Most of you would have heard of Cloud and High Performance Computing (HPC), or you may already be using it. HPC is not the same as cloud computing. Both technologies differ in a number of ways, and have some similarities as well.

We may refer to both types as “large scale computing” - but what...

Now more than ever researchers are needing to embrace electronic data capture methods to keep their research moving in the midst of social distancing restrictions and decreased access to survey participants. Using a research specific survey tool can not only solve this problem, but also set your...

We rarely receive the research data in an appropriate form. Often data is messy. Sometimes it is incomplete. And sometimes there's too much of it. Frequently, it has errors.

This webinar targets beginners and presents a quick demonstration of using the most widespread data wrangling tool,...

Data rarely comes in the form you require. Often it is messy. Sometimes it is incomplete. And sometimes there's too much of it. Frequently, it has errors. We'll use one of the most widespread data wrangling tools, Microsoft Excel, to import, sort, filter, copy, protect, transform, summarise,...

Have you mistakenly overwritten programs or data and want to learn techniques to avoid repeating the loss? Version control systems are one of the most powerful tools available for avoiding data loss and enabling reproducible research. While the learning curve can be steep, our trainers are there...

Is your computer's limited power throttling your research ambitions? Are your analysis scripts pushing your laptop's processor to its limits? Is your software crashing because you’ve run out of memory? Would you like to unleash to power of the Unix command line to automate and run your analysis...

You have written, compiled and run functioning programs in C and/or Fortran. You know how HPC works and you've submitted batch jobs.

Now you want to move from writing single-threaded programs into the parallel programming paradigm, so you can truly harness the full power of High Performance...

Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language with more than 4,000 external libraries available. Julia allows you to range from tight low-level loops and conditionals, up to a high-level programming style, with its performance approaching and often matching the performance...
