OSC offers a one hour seminar targeting faculty who are unfamiliar with OSC to introduce the Center and the services we provide. The aim of this seminar is to provide a brief overview of OSC, what computational patterns are good candidates to consider using our services, and to point at entry points to begin. We can offer this seminar on your campus, with slight modifications to suit the audience, but offer a copy of the materials here for individuals to review.

We upgraded the operating system on the Pitzer cluster from RHEL7 to RHEL9 on July 28 2025. This upgrade introduces several software-related changes compared to the RHEL7 environment used on the Pitzer and provides access to modern tools and libraries but may also require adjustments to your workflows.
