Cornell Virtual Workshops

Cornell has pioneered an intuitive learning platform with trainings on programming languages (e.g. Python, R, MATLAB), parallel computing, code optimization, and data analysis. The platform supports learning communities around the world, with code examples from national systems such as Frontera, Stampede2, and Jetstream2.
