Options for Processing Big Data in the Social Sciences and Humanities

Are you working with data that is too much for your personal computer to handle? This workshop will introduce you to the computing resources that you can turn to at Princeton.

This workshop begins by covering the relevant computer terminology and concepts. We then give an overview of the computing options at Princeton with a focus on the systems provided by Research Computing. Using only a web browser, participants will learn how to work with their files and run programs on a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster called Adroit. More advanced topics will be demonstrated such as running batch jobs using the job scheduler and transferring large files.
