New Hands on Help Pages
ORCD has launched a new site at orcd-docs.mit.edu with system information, tutorials, recipes, and more for users on Engaging, OpenMind, Satori, and SuperCloud. Many thanks to our research community facing team (Shaohao Chen, Chris Hill, Lauren Milechin), and our fall semester student employee, Karen Nakamura, for all of their work to get this up and running.
The orcd-docs.mit.edu pages are a living collection. The pages will grow over time. If you have a favorite recipe for running a code or an analysis that you would like to share with the ORCD community, please reach out to us. The team is happy to include suggestions.

Spring 2024 Undergraduate and Graduate Student Positions
The MIT Office of Research Computing and Data (ORCD) has multiple undergraduate and graduate student positions to work in our research computing support team. The roles will be involved in helping researchers working with the most advanced computing tools on MITs largest and most powerful computing systems for data analysis, modeling, AI/ML and more. See the news item on ORCD’s website for more information and the application process.
Newsletter Changes
ORCD is working on moving our newsletter to a new platform. Members of our current newsletter mailing list will get automatically added to the new format. Instead of running this list through an MIT-managed mailing list, we’ll be using a tool that will allow new members to sign up for or unsubscribe from the list more easily.
