Introduction to High Performance Computing

Tuesday, April 15th, 2025, 9am-12pm

This workshop is designed to introduce new users to the HPC resources available at Yale and to provide a comprehensive overview of the basic concepts needed to perform computing on the Yale clusters:

  • accessing the clusters,
  • navigating a linux interface via bash commands,
  • running interactive and batch jobs,
  • managing files,
  • troubleshooting workflows, and more.

The workshop consists of a presentation and practical exercises (~2 hours), followed by office hours with the YCRC Research Support Team who will be available for questions, demonstrations, and troubleshooting. Number of seats is limited. Registration is required.

Parallel Computing with MATLAB:  Hands on virtual workshop Wednesday, April 16th, 1-4pm 

During this hands-on workshop, we will introduce parallel and distributed computing in MATLAB with a focus on speeding up application codes and offloading computers. By working through common scenarios and workflows using hands-on demos, you will gain a detailed understanding of the parallel constructs in MATLAB, their capabilities, and some of the common hurdles that you’ll encounter when using them. 

Highlights

  • Multithreading vs multiprocessing
  • When to use parfor vs parfeval constructs
  • Creating data queues for data transfer
  • Leveraging NVIDIA GPUs
  • Parallelizing Simulink models
  • Working with large data
