This follows on from the Introduction to HTML and is a practical-based course. |

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series. This could be called "Computer Arithmetic Uncovered". It will describe how computers store and process integers and floating point numbers, and also the exceptions that might arise and what they mean. The intent is to explain how modern computers handle numbers, and how to get reliable answers for a reasonable amount of effort. |

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series. This is a simple introduction to using MPI for writing parallel programs to run on clusters and multi-CPU systems, for the purposes of "high-performance computing". It will cover the principles of MPI, and teach the use of the basic facilities of MPI (i.e. the ones that are used in most HPC applications), so that attendees will be able to write serious programs using it. It will describe other features that may be useful, but not teach their use. For technical reasons, the exact length, format and contents of the course have not yet been settled and will be provided later. Any requests for particular coverage will be welcomed, but cannot be promised. |

This 3 day course has been developed by the Computing Service Windows Support Group. It is aimed at IT Support staff within the University (i.e. Departmental and College Computer Officers and TechLinks) needing to learn the essentials of Microsoft Windows desktop operating system administration. The course will be run on Windows Vista, however the key concepts apply to Windows XP and Windows 2000. Attendance of this course will prepare the attendees for the Windows and Active Directory Course. The practicals are based in a workgroup environment, however, all topics are transferable and scaleable to a Domain environment. If the course becomes oversubscribed precedence will be given to those who haven't previously attended a course and only one booking per institution will be accepted. |

This 3-day course which has been developed by the Computing Service Windows Support Group is aimed at IT Support staff within the University (i.e. Departmental and College Computer Officers and TechLinks) with an existing skill set in NT4/2000/2003/2008 server. This course covers configuring and managing Windows 2008 server and Active Directory in the University Environment. The practical tasks will cover setting up an Active Directory domain and DNS with one or more servers. Each course member will initially work with 2 servers one acting as a Domain Controller and the other as a client in the domain. If the course becomes oversubscribed precedence will be given to those who haven't previously attended a course and only one booking per institution will be accepted. |
