Minerva User Group – Training Sessions

Scientific Computing and Data (SCD) computational scientists provide both introductory and advanced training sessions on how to use the Minerva supercomputer effectively and efficiently. The times and locations will be announced on this website and through the Mount Sinai research email list. Our computational scientists are also available to answer questions by appointment or at the weekly Digital Concierge drop-in. Please see below for archived slides from past training sessions:
