Introduction to HPC -  hands-on workshops

Monday, September 16th, 1pm-4pm and 


Thursday, September 26, 9am-12pm


The workshops are designed to introduce new users to the HPC resources available at Yale and to provide comprehensive overviews of basic concepts needed to perform computing on the clusters, such as:


    

  • accessing the clusters,
    • 

  • navigating a linux interface via bash commands,
    • 

  • running interactive and batch jobs,
    • 

  • managing files,
    • 

  • troubleshooting workflows, and more.
    • 



Students will be engaged in practical exercises, receive tips on how to best utilize HPC resources, and get information on research support services offered by YCRC.


Workshops span approximately two hours and will be followed by OFFICE HOURS during which YCRC Research Support Team are available for questions, demonstrations, and troubleshooting.


The workshops will be conducted via Open On Demand (OOD).


Due to their interactive nature and in order to provide the best learning experience, these workshops are offered in-person only, with the number of seats limited to 30 per session. These training sessions are offered IN-PERSON only; no zoom access available. Registration is required.


Location: YCRC Auditorium at 160 St Ronan Street.

Parallel Computing with MATLAB:  Hands on workshop


  


Wednesday, September 18th, 1pm– 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 compute. 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 of the workshop:


    

  • 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
    •
