SUMMARY:Software Carpentry Workshop @WISE: Shell\, R\, Git
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This is a two day workshop. January 11 and January 12  (*one* registration covering both days) \nSoftware Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills in a supportive & inclusive environment. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts and tools\, including R for plotting\, the Unix shell\, version control with Git & GitHub\, R for data analysis\, and writing reports with R Markdown. \nThis special Software Carpentry workshop is sponsored by the U-M Women in Science and Engineering and is taught entirely by women. \nThe workshop is aimed at graduate students and other researchers\, but anyone can participate. You don’t need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop. \nVirtual (Zoom link to be provided to registrants)

SUMMARY:GIS Fundamentals – I (Coordinate systems)
DESCRIPTION:This is the first workshop in a series of workshops we are offering this semester on the fundamentals of GIS. Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and is self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient understanding for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. Most workshops will have at least one hands-on exercise. Typically\, each workshop is divided into one hour of lecture-style presentation and half an hour of hands-on exercises. Unless mentioned otherwise\, we will use R for the hands-on portion. \n\nThere are 100s of coordinate systems and datums available in modern software that provide GIS functionalities. A basic understanding of different coordinate systems\, their strength and limitations\, and conversion between different systems are essential for choosing the right system and manipulating geographically referenced data. In this workshop we will cover the basics of coordinate systems for 2-D GIS from an applied perspective.

SUMMARY:Advanced Graphics Optimization For Data Visualization In Unity3D
DESCRIPTION:Modern 3D game engines and computer hardware can render convincing graphics\, rivaling that of pre-rendered 3D animation. But video games still require special optimization techniques and tricks. This relates directly to perceived capabilities for data visualization and serious applications: we can generate and render thousands of interactive objects. But what about millions? \nThis workshop will go over different techniques to render as many objects as possible at once in Unity3D\, with the context of visualizing data as a point-cloud. Examples will include (but not be limited to) GPU Instancing\, Unity’s Particle System\, and Compute Shaders. It is strongly recommended that attendees be familiar with Unity3D prior to this workshop to get the most out of the session.

SUMMARY:GIS Fundamentals – II (Vector and network data models)
DESCRIPTION:This is the second workshop in a series of workshops we are offering this semester on the fundamentals of GIS. Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and is self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient preparation for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. Most workshops will have at least one hands-on exercise. The first one hour of the workshop is a lecture-style presentation\, followed by the next half-hour for the hands-on exercises. Unless mentioned otherwise\, we will use R. \nHow data is recorded in a digital system has significant implications for accuracy\, algorithms\, and the type of analyses that can be undertaken.  In this workshop we will cover data structure for vector and network data in the context of a 2-D GIS system. The focus is on developing a basic understanding of elements such as essential primitives\, how more complex objects are derived from the primitives\, and different formats and file systems.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Python's NumPy library
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will introduce you to the NumPy library in Python\, which is useful in scientific computing. We will cover NumPy’s n-dimensional array object and associated functions in depth\, along with related linear algebra and random number capabilities. Some familiarity with Python is expected. The workshop will be done online via Zoom. We will run the code using Google Colab\, which requires a Google account.

SUMMARY:Using GPUs with Python
DESCRIPTION:Python is the Lingua Franca of Data today and is being increasingly used in scientific computations. This workshop introduces Python GPU tools for porting and writing code that runs on GPUs. The primary tools\, Numba and CuPy\, are presented with examples. This workshop is presented by Kristopher Keipert of NVIDIA.\nThis event is open to students\, faculty\, and staff within the University of Michigan community. A Jupyter notebook is used along with a set of lecture slides. The workshop will use online tools\, so there is no need to install any software ahead of time.\nThis event is brought to you by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and Consulting for Statistics\, Computing & Analytics Research at the University of Michigan in partnership with NVIDIA.\nSpace is limited\, register today!
