Abstract: 

Get a behind the scenes look at how NC State University Strength and Conditioning use HPCC Systems to run their data analysis project. Get a practical look at how each part of the system is set up and how it works from getting data into the HPCC Systems cluster, to getting data out into reports to give to coaches. Learn how HPCC Systems makes answering their sport and data science questions possible by digging in to the framework of how the system was built.
