About this Class

Please email staff@hpc.nih.gov for the meeting link.

All Biowulf users and all those interested in using the systems are invited to call in to our Virtual Walk-in Consult to discuss problems and concerns, from scripting problems to node allocation, to strategies for a particular project, to anything that is affecting your use of the HPC systems. Users will be assigned to a breakout-session with a member of the HPC staff to discuss the problem 1-on-1.  We'll try to address simpler issues on the spot and follow up on more complex questions after the consult.

At the consult: You will initially join the  main lobby and triage area.  There you can briefly describe your issue, and then will be invited to join a 1-on-1 breakout room with a staff member.
Once you are finished with your focused consultation you can return to the main meeting room if you have additional questions or topics to discuss.  Please:
- mute when not speaking
- refrain from screen sharing until asked to do so in the breakout room
- screen share as you would in a public space with the understanding that other NIH HPC staff may join and view what you are sharing (i.e. look over your shoulder)
- be prepared to wait your turn if staff are already helping other users
