Each day we will have morning (9:30 or 10am – 12:30pm) and afternoon (1:30m – 4:30pm) sessions, with a visit of the Cedar supercomputer on Tuesday starting at 8:30am.

You can register for the full program for $50, or choose specific days at $15 per day. All sessions will be in-person at SFU Burnaby campus, in SFU’s Big Data Hub Presentation Studio (Applied Sciences Building, ASB 10900).

To participate in the hands-on exercises, you will need to bring your own laptop. We will provide guest accounts on our HPC training cluster. For more specific requirements, please see the individual course pages.
