Training
ICER provides training opportunities to help beginning and experienced high-performance computing (HPC) researchers utilize MSU’s computational resources. Please see our Education and Events page for details. A step-by-step guide for getting started with HPCC is provided here.
Research Consulting
ICER Research Consultants are available to enable new and experienced HPC users to achieve their research goals. Research Consultants have extensive scientific computing experience in complex workflows, leveraging numerical libraries, and are familiar with many parallel-programming paradigms. In addition, research consultants pursue research goals in collaboration with MSU faculty and are available to assist with research proposals. Assistance and advice on scientific computing includes:
- Application and programming support
- Grant and research collaborations
Outreach
In addition to training, Research Consultants are available for talks or seminars describing ICER services and how HPC resources are used for research. Departments and units on campus may request a presentation from ICER’s Research Consultants. Use the contact form to request a seminar or talk.
Documentation
ICER maintains an online user manual for getting new users up and running as soon as possible on the HPCC.
