About
High-Throughput Computing (HTC) Week is a multi-day virtual event organized by the OSG and the Partnership to Advance Throughput Computing (PATh), focused on helping participants learn to run, manage, and support HTC workloads. The event typically spans several days and combines introductory and intermediate training, hands-on labs, and office hours on topics such as submitting large job campaigns, using OSG and campus HTC resources, managing data movement, and integrating HTC into research workflows.
Sessions are designed for researchers, research computing staff, and facilitators who want to understand when HTC is a good fit, how to prepare workloads (e.g., parameter sweeps, ensemble runs), and how to use tools like HTCondor and the OSG Open Science Pool. For institutions building or expanding HTC services, HTC Week content can serve as a practical training curriculum and a way to connect staff and researchers with experts in distributed HTC.
