New Unity HPC/AI Quick Start Guide!

Unity is our primary HPC/AI computational platform at the Mass. Green HPC Center. It is an advanced and complex computing system that we are always trying to make more accessible to all types of users. While we have a very extensive set of new Unity documentation https://docs.unity.uri.edu/ we have now prepared a “Unity Quick Start” guide that is much shorter and may serve as an excellent “cheat sheet” of sorts. Please reach out to us, if you’d like to have a copy!

Our workshop program for the semester has wrapped up. Here you can find the recordings of all the workshops we ran including R, SAS, SPSS, Python, Bioinformatics, Unity and others: http://its.uri.edu/research-training
