Part 1 of this session offers a bare-bones introduction to high performance computing, also known as HPC, supercomputing and many other monikers. CADRE attendees who are new to computing and attempting to learn about researchers' data-intensive work should consider familiarizing themselves with the computing environement often used to conduct that work. Bibliometric analysis, quantitative statistical analysis, and geographic data visualizations are jsut a few examples of computationally-intensive work underway in humanities, social sciences, and other science fields. This session will prepare you to attend subsequent computing-focused breakout sessions without fear!

Part 2 of this session provides CADRE attendees who are new to computing a time and space for discussing and questioning content, terminology, workflows, concepts, or anything else encountered during the day's plenaries and sessions. Jamene and Mark will facilitate this debrief, suggest takeaways and strategies for moving forward, and invite one or two computing professionals to address topics with additional expertise.
