Triton

Triton is the Aalto high performance computing cluster. It is your go-to resources for anything that exceeds your desktop computer's capacity. To get started, you could check out the :ref:`tutorials <tutorials>` (going through all the principles) or :doc:`quickstart guide </triton/quickstart/index>` (if you pretty much know the basics).

Aalto Research Software Engineers

Skills to do science are different than skills to write good research code. The Aalto Research Software Engineers (AaltoRSE) provide support and mentoring to those using computing and data so that everyone can do the best possible work.

Scientific computing

In this section, you find general (not Aalto specific) scientific computing resources. We encourage other sites to use and contribute to this information.

Cheatsheets: git the way you need it, Gitlab (produced by Gitlab, with Aalto link)

Training

We have various recommended training courses for researchers who deal with computation and data. These courses are selected by researchers, for researchers and grouped by level of skill needed.

Help

Don't go alone, we are there! There is all kinds of "folk knowledge" to efficiently use the tools of scientific computing, and we would like to learn that. In particular, our community is welcome to come to our :doc:`SciComp garage <help/garage>` even for small random chats about your work, but there are :doc:`plenty of other ways to ask for help <help/index>`, too.

About us

Aalto Scientific Computing isn't a :abbr:`HPC (High Performance Computing)` center - we provide HPC services, but our goal is to support scientific computing no matter what resources you need. Computing is hard, and we know that support is even more important than the infrastructure. If you are a unit at Aalto University, :doc:`you can join us </about/join>`. [Mastodon, Twitter]

   about/index

:doc:`Aalto Scientific Computing </about/index>` (ASC) maintains these pages with the :doc:`help of the Aalto community <README>`. This site is open source: all content is licensed under CC-BY 4.0 and all examples under CC0 (public domain). Additionally, this is an open project and we strongly encourage anyone to :doc:`contribute <README>`. For information, see the :doc:`README` and the Github links at the top of every page. Either make Github issues, pull requests, or ask for direct commit access. Be bold: the biggest problem is missing information, and mistakes can always be fixed.
