Getting Help Tutorials

The Supercomputing Institute is offering several tutorials during the Spring of 2008.

Online Materials

Tutorial information is available online for the following categories:

Video Stream

The Supercomputing Institute offers tutorials via streaming video. To access the video stream, please check the following steps:

  1. System requirements: Our live webcast requires Real Player. There are Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix versions of Real Player available for free. Our archived webcasts require Windows Media Player version 9. This software can be downloaded for free. In the future we will be moving towards Real Player format for all live and archived webcasts.
  2. Test your connection: A short webcast is available to test your connection to make sure the audio and video streams are working properly. The demo may take several seconds to load. Don't expect the playback to begin immediately.
  3. View a Webcast at MSI: You can either view a live webcast or an archived webcast. Remember that for live webcasts, you probably won't see anything until just prior to their start times.

Technical support

If you have technical problems with a live or archived webcast, please email user support.
