[SC2]LAUNCHING OF 2017 NVIDIA VISUALIZATION CHALLENGE+ PRESENTATION: SIMPLE DATA MANAGEMENT WITH SIGNAC

Thur., Feb. 2, 2017, 4:30 p.m.
1311 EECS (1301 Beal Ave.)

The SC2, partnered with MICDE, the U-M 3D Lab and NVIDIA, will officially launch the 2017 NVIDIA Visualization Challenge aimed for students to use the latest visualization tools and technology to show their research data in creative ways. For more information, including deadlines and prizes, click here.

Simon Adorf (PhD Candidate, Chem. Eng.) will give a presentation about “Simple Data Management with signac”

ABSTRACT: We will give a brief introduction to the signac data management framework for agile computational workflows, followed by presenting interactive examples using jupyter notebooks hosted online. The signac framework aids in the management of large and heterogeneous data spaces. It provides a simple and robust data model to create a well-defined indexable storage layout for data and metadata. This makes it easier to operate on large data spaces, streamlines post-processing and analysis and makes data collectively accessible.

Everyone is encouraged to bring a laptop in order to be able to follow along.

[SC2] SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING STUDENT CLUB – ELECTIONS AND PROTOCAT PRESENTATION

Tue., Dec. 6, 2016, 6:00 p.m. EECS 1003

We will also be having a talk from the Biological Software Team. They compete at the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Jamboree with over 300 teams from 54 countries. Last year they won a gold medal, and the prize for Best Software Project, and they would like to involve more people and get support in the development of their software for next year’s competition.

[SC2] VISUALIZING THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE: SHARING/PUBLISHING YOUR DATA INTERACTIVELY

Tue., Nov. 22, 2016

While static journal articles may still be the most effective academic currency today, pdfs or even slide decks are far from the most effective way to share your data and results. Allowing your audience to interact with you data provides a more meaningful way to communicate and provide your audience with understanding. At this meeting we will cover some examples of interactivity using github.io.

SC2 DEMO: VISUALIZATION ON REMOTE RESOURCES

Tuesday, Oct. 25 @ West Hall 340

One of the advantages of scientific computing research is the ability to use powerful supercomputers from the convenience of your home computer, laptop, tablet, or even phone! In the next SC2 meeting club members will be demonstrating how you can use these remote resources to run and visualize simulations. Additionally, we will be demonstrating the “scientific python” stack (Python, NumPy, Scipy) to duplicate MATLAB functionality with free, open source software.

Here are some of the resources we talked about:

SC2 HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO U-M STUDENTS
