We are excited to resume our ORC Workshop series for Spring 2026. Our first workshop will be on Data Transfer with Globus and Managing Databases on the Cluster with MySQL, this coming Thursday, on 02/26/2026, between 2:00PM – 4:00PM. All those using the cluster are invited to attend.
The Spring ORC workshops will be held in-person in the VizLab, Research Hall 369. Researchers may also join through Zoom, with details on the Workshop Sign Up page.
Below is the list of planned workshops for Spring 2026:
| Date and Time (EST) | Workshop Title | Description |
| 02/26/2026, 2:00PM-4:00PM | Data Transfer and Managing Databases on Hopper | This workshop covers: 1- secure data transfer using Globus, best practices for moving large datasets, organizing project storage, and managing files efficiently across systems. 2- setting up and managing MySQL databases on the cluster, including configuration, performance best practices, and integration with research workflows. |
