Julie Faure-Lacroix<p>Okay, I'm going to pin this one because it's probably the most important aspect of what I work for. </p><p>🚨 If you're a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/graduate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>graduate</span></a> student in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> 🚨 </p><p>You have access to all of the academic supercomputers and cloud computing facilities that are part of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada FOR FREE </p><p>Not sure how to use a supercomputer? We also do a lot of training!</p><p>There's no catch! I promise, there's no catch. Think of it like you think of your local library. You don't wonder why they let you in and read whatever you want for free, right?</p><p>➡️ Students need to make sure that their PI has created an account first, because they'll have to be approved as a member of a lab. </p><p>🐎 Run, don't walk to <a href="https://ccdb.alliancecan.ca/security/login" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ccdb.alliancecan.ca/security/l</span><span class="invisible">ogin</span></a> and get started!</p><p>🚨 If you're a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/faculty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>faculty</span></a> member in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> 🚨 </p><p>Whatever the role, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/lecturer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lecturer</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/researcher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>researcher</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/researchAssociate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>researchAssociate</span></a> it's the same thing for you! Just get your account before your students and staff. Same link.</p><p>🚨 If you're an academic research collaborator outside of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> 🚨 </p><p>You can also use the resources for free if you get sponsored by a Canadian researcher that already has an account. Again, for free. As long as you use it for a project you both collaborate on, you're welcome!</p><p>Next week, we'll go through the yearly process of allocating resources to our power users. That process is basically like a grant application and that might also be interesting to some of you. I'll post about it when I'm in the thick of it, I guess!</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Supercomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Supercomputing</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HPC</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Research</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DRAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DRAC</span></a></p>
