Workshop Descriptions

Click on the workshop summaries below to see descriptions!

This workshop will cover the Agave supercomputer configuration, batch and interactive access, and available software packages. Access has been greatly simplified with the webapp, a browser-based portal to Agave supporting command-line shell, drag and drop file transfer, job submission, and RStudio and Jupyter interfaces. A sample of applications run on the system will demonstrate the variety of computational research Agave supports, including new GPU acceleration capability. In preparation for the workshop all attendees are encouraged to obtain an account on Agave if they do not already have one: https://cores.research.asu.edu/research-computing/get-started/create-an-account

This workshop covers more advanced topics for conducting research on ASU's high-performance computing supercomputer, mostly focusing on batch submission processes and benchmarking jobs through the command line. In preparation for the workshop all attendees are encouraged to obtain an account on Agave if they do not already have one: https://cores.research.asu.edu/research-computing/get-started/create-an-account

This workshop provides training for using the Linux command-line interface. The workshop utilizes materials provided by the Software Carpentries on Unix shells, and emphasizes the bare minimum requirements to become proficient on the supercompter.

The Unix shell has been around longer than most of its users have been alive. It has survived so long because it’s a power tool that allows people to do complex things with just a few keystrokes. More importantly, it helps them combine existing programs in new ways and automate repetitive tasks so they aren’t typing the same things over and over again. Use of the shell is fundamental to using a wide range of other powerful tools and computing resources (including “high-performance computing” supercomputers). These lessons will start you on a path towards using these resources effectively.

This workshop will focus on approaches to porting Matlab applications to a supercomputer environment such as that of ASU's Agave supercomputer. This is not an intro to Matlab course. The intended audience member will have developed Matlab code that runs on a desktop machine but now would like to run this code in a parallel environment. This may be implemented through either:

  1. Batch submission of multiple single-threaded instances (e.g. parameter sweep)

  2. Multithreading m file using "parfor" command

  3. Confronting large datasets using distributed arrays or tall arrays

  4. Exploiting Matlab functions ported to GPU

  5. Multithreading C-code using OpenMP or writing cuda kernels and compiling with mex compiler to be called by Matlab

  6. Introduction to features of the Matlab Parallel Server

In preparation for the workshop all attendees are encouraged to obtain an account on Agave if they do not already have one: https://cores.research.asu.edu/research-computing/get-started/create-an-account

This workshop will focus on best practice, profiling and benchmarking in R. This workshop will also introduce how to submit R jobs to ASU’s Agave supercomputer through the use of batch submissions, parameter sweeps, and SLURM job arrays.
