The workshop will include three sessions featuring hands-on exercises, followed by an open discussion and Q&A. \n\nSession 1: Distributed GPU Architecture for LLMs \nThis session introduces GPU computing fundamentals and memory considerations in machine learning workflows. \nIt also examines multi-GPU strategies -- including model parallelism, Distributed Data Parallel (DDP), and Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) -- through practical examples and hands-on exercises.\n\nSession 2: Handling Large DataFrames in Python \nThis session explores the performance and memory limitations of pandas when working with large-scale datasets. \nIt presents modern alternatives such as Polars and covers efficient data-handling techniques, including optimized storage formats, chunked processing, and extensions for distributed and GPU-enabled frameworks.\n\nSession 3: Python and DataFrames for Sensible Experiment Management \nThis session focuses on developing structured and reproducible workflows for computational research. \nParticipants will build a benchmarking framework for LLM inference while learning best practices in data aggregation, API integration and automated visualization.\n\n[Discover further information on sessions and the tentative agenda.](https://rci.research.ucf.edu/events/research-computing-full-day-advanced-bootcamp-june-2026/) \n[](https://rci.research.ucf.edu/events/research-computing-full-day-advanced-bootcamp-june-2026/)\n\nPlease note: All the sessions have a hands-on component. To participate in the hands-on exercises during the session, you will need to bring your own laptop equipped with a web browser and install any software specific to that lesson.

The Art Show is the concept of an exhibition which will require the participants to think beyond their studio practice.\n\nOn view through June 26, Monday-Friday, 9 AM-4 PM.
