This site contains documentation about scientific and data-intensive computing at Aalto and beyond. It is targeted towards Aalto researchers, but has some useful information for everyone. The data management section is useful even to non-computational researchers.
:doc:`Aalto Scientific Computing </about/index>` maintains these pages with the :doc:`help of the Aalto community <README>`. [twitter] We consist of Science-IT (HPC, the Triton cluster), certain department ITs, and other friends. :doc:`You can join us </about/join>`.

Aalto provides a wide variety of support for scientific computing. For a summary, see the IT Services for Research page. For information about data storage at Aalto, see the section on data management below.
.. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 aalto/index
In this section, you can find some information and instructions on data management. Concrete information: :doc:`main Aalto services <aalto/aaltostorage>` and :doc:`global services <data/services>`. Main Theoretical information: :doc:`Aalto-specific summary <data/outline>` and Aalto's Research Data Management pages.

Skills to do science are different than skills to write good research code. The Aalto Research Software Engineering group provides support and mentoring to those using computing and data.
.. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 rse/index
In this section, you find general (not Aalto specific) scientific computing resources.

Cheatsheets: git for normal people, Gitlab (produced by Gitlab, with Aalto link)
We have various recommended training courses for researchers who deal with computation and data. These courses are selected by researchers, for researchers and grouped by level of skill needed.
