RT @DDNintelligence: Purdue Computes - Advancing AI with Excellence at Scale

Purdue's Envision Center has developed a VR platform that utilizes Meta Quest 3 headsets to bring the future of teaching and learning to our doorstep. To highlight this technology, the Envision Center will host a series of demos for students and faculty.

We would like to introduce our next Anvil summer REU mentor for 2025, Arun Seetharam. Arun a lead bioinformatics scientist at RCAC. To meet Arun and learn more about his role with the 2025 Anvil summer REU program, click here. #MyGiantLeap #AnvilREU

Anvil Open OnDemand UPDATE: A brand new User Dashboard has been designed and integrated for Anvil OOD users! This dashboard was a project for Anvil REUs Anjali Rajesh and Richie Tan. Thanks to their work and the efforts of the Anvil team, we can provide this to our users.

The Envision Center will host a series of demos highlighting our new Collab XR platform and its use cases across different domains. Please join us in the Armstrong Atrium on February 13th from 1-3 PM to experience our first demo, led by @astro_dan_mil from Physics and Astronomy!

RCAC is excited to announce a special two-session workshop titled “Parallel Computing with MATLAB.” MathWorks, the developer of MATLAB, is leading the workshop, which will take place at Purdue on Feb 12th, 1 PM - 4 PM and 13th, 9 AM - 12 PM Learn more here
