Jupyter is an open source web application for collaboratively writing, sharing and executing code, equations and text. It is being used worldwide to educate, analyze and visualize data, develop new artificial intelligence algorithms, and share research. By its nature, Jupyter has become the most recent contender in the never-ending challenge of simplifying Canadian researchers access to advanced research computing.

Compute Canada and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) are collaborating to bring Jupyter notebooks to researchers, educators and innovators across Canada.

During this talk, we will introduce what is Jupyter and where the project is heading. We will present how PIMS and Compute Canada support institutions and their researchers with Jupyter. The talk will highlight successful usages of the services offered, illustrating the importance of the collaboration between the organizations. We will conclude by with a live demonstration of current and future Jupyter services offered by PIMS and Compute Canada.
