New in 2021! We are pleased to bring to the UCF Research community a series of workshops on scientific computing and research data management. These workshops are being jointly presented by UCF Libraries, UCF Graduate and Research IT, and UCF Advanced Research Computing Center (ARCC) and will feature some guest speakers from the broader research community. This series also includes Software and Data Carpentries workshops (http://carpentries.org) which have been made possible through the sponsorship of Dr. Elizabeth Klonoff, Vice President for Research and Dean, College of Graduate Studies.
The workshops are targeted to faculty, post-docs and student researchers and will be especially useful for those who are new to computational science and interested in learning about the resources available to them at UCF and beyond. Topics span the areas of research data management, high-performance computing, and programming for scientific analysis and will feature some sessions with hands-on learning.
The February 22 session details are:
Title: Advanced Research Computing Center: High-performance computing using UCF Stokes computing cluster (hands-on)
Description:
Please note that at this time the workshops are only being offered to faculty, post-docs and students who are actively engaged in research as we have limited capacity due to the hands-on nature of the sessions.
Computational research can analyze models and/or data to reach new conclusions in faster ways or more complex scenarios. UCF has a 4000+ core cluster for general-purpose computation for research across many fields of academic work. This workshop will review capabilities of the UCF Advanced Research Computing Center in general, with a focus on the general-purpose cluster (known as Stokes). Storage system usage, job scheduling and account balancing, and job submission will be covered with an interactive hands-on session (if an attendee does not yet have an ARCC account, please be sure to request an account ahead of time via the ARCC web site at arcc.ist.ucf.edu).
Presenters: Glenn Martin, Ph.D.
