Yes!
Tufts Research Technology (RT), TTS works with XSEDE offering HPC monthly workshops all year round! Topics including: MPI, OpenACC, OpenMP, Big Data.
We also host the XSEDE HPC Summer Boot Camp once a year in June, as well as Petascale Institute in August (Coming up soon!)
We offer Introduction to Basic Linux and Tufts HPC Cluster workshops on a regular basis to help new cluster users get familiar with our HPC environment on all three campuses (Medford, Boston, Grafton).
The workshop/training schedule is always included in our RT monthly newsletter (If you have a cluster account, you should be on the elist. If you don’t receive the Newsletters, please email tts-research@tufts.edu for assistance.)
Here are the events coming up in Summer/Fall 2019, feel free to sign up! (All events are open to general public):
August 6-7 - XSEDE Workshop: Big Data
August 19-23 Petascale Computing Institute 2019
September 3-4 - XSEDE Workshop: MPI

Sign-up at: Click Here to Register
Date: 5-Days, MON to FRI, 8/19/2019 to 8/23/2019 from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Location: Collaborative Learning and Innovation Complex (CLIC) 310
Address: 574 Boston Ave Medford, MA 02155
OVERVIEW
The goal of the institute is to enable computational and data-enabled discovery in all fields of study by teaching the participants to scale their computational codes to leadership-class computing systems. The institute will be broadcast to Host Sites (listed on the Registration page to the left) using full-duplex audio/video connections. Participants will receive training accounts, on-site mentoring, and the ability to ask questions of the presenters orally and via on-line chats. Sessions will also be webcast on YouTube live, although participants will not receive training accounts and will only be able to post questions on-line.
Participants must REGISTER to attend one of the Host Sites (listed on the Registration page to the left) or to watch the sessions on YouTube. Recordings of the presentations will be made publicly available after the institute is completed.
AUDIENCE
The institute is free and open to everyone. The content is targeted to individuals conducting research and scholarship in all disciplines, including graduate and undergraduate students, postdocs, faculty, researchers, scholars, educators, and practitioners in academia, industry and government agencies.
The institute will be beneficial to research teams who are preparing to scale their codes to petascale-class resources, people who are working on parallel codes, or have a need to scale up computational codes and/or data analysis programs. Individuals who are current or pending users of large-scale HPC systems will benefit the most from this institute. People who do not have access to research codes, such as those using commercial packages, are not likely to benefit from the institute.
COMPUTING RESOURCES
The institute will provide training accounts to participants who register to attend at one of the Host Sites. The training accounts will be provided on multiple HPC systems which are described in the Resources tab in the left menu bar.
Participants watching the YouTube live webcast will not be provided with training accounts, due to security policies and procedures for settting up training accounts.
PARTICIPANT PREREQUISITES
Participants are expected to have the following background, knowledge and experience:
Familiarity with programming in Fortran, C, C++, Python or a comparable language
Familiarity with Linux
Familiarity with use of clusters and/or HPC systems
