Join us from **3-5pm on 4-6 October 2021** for a series of interactive online tutorials designed to introduce new users to [Oscar](https://ccv.brown.edu/services/oscar/), Brown's research computing cluster. Members of [CCV](https://ccv.brown.edu)'s High-Performance Computing (HPC) team will provide participants with the practical knowledge necessary to make effective use of Oscar in their own research, while introducing the fundamentals of high-performance computing.

A complete list of tutorials, along with brief descriptions, can be found on the schedule for each day in the menu to the left.

## Registration

Bootcamp tutorials are offered on an *à la carte* basis, so that participants need only attend those tutorials that are of interest to them. Registered participants will receive an email with instructions for connecting to the tutorials via Zoom on the morning of each session.

We highly recommend that participants have an account on Oscar, since many of the exercises in the tutorials will require access to Oscar.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ccv.brown.edu/archive/oscar-bootcamp-2021/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
