+### On November 8, CHTC hosted a hands-on workshop for researchers new to high throughput computing (HTC) and high performance computing (HPC).
+
+The Center for High Throughput Computing (CHTC) facilitation team spent the morning of November 8 
+with over 50 students, researchers and faculty interested in learning high performance computing and 
+high throughput computing. Lead Research Computing Facilitator, Christina Koch, began by asking everyone 
+in the room who had run into problems with computing on a single computer to raise their hand. 
+Over half the room did so. Participants reported bottlenecks such as month-long run times or loops with millions of 
+iterations. The facilitation team then delved into why these problems were happening and how CHTC could help.
+
+The workshop focused on identifying and practicing the steps needed to use a large-scale computing system at CHTC. 
+Students were provided with detailed workflows and tools to improve their usage of HTC or HPC. 
+Hands-on examples were also incorporated, where attendees did the work themselves. 
+Participants then got to “meet a server” and see what happens behind the scenes when they use CHTC resources.
+
+Given the attendance and high level of interest in this workshop, it certainly will not be the last. 
+The CHTC facilitation team is planning to host additional large-scale computing workshops 
+in the spring semester for those that missed this opportunity.
