The holidays in Cincinnati bring many traditions to mind. You can go see the Duke Energy train display at the Cincinnati Museum Center (formerly the CG&E train display and previously located downtown), and you surely do not want to miss the Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo. One tradition in particular, though, is celebrating a big anniversary. 2014 marks the 40th year for Cincinnati Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker. For many Cincinnatians, a trip to see The Nutcracker at Music Hall is their first experience with the ballet, and for others it might be their only experience.
On October 19, UC Libraries and UCIT co-sponsored two High Performance Computing workshops, taught by staff of the Ohio Supercomputing Center (OSC). Workshop titles: Intro to High Performance Computing at OSC (basic session) and Conquering the OSC Batch Environment (advanced, hands-on session). Streaming recordings, slides, and workshop details are now available at http://guides.libraries.uc.edu/hpc.
