This is the second workshop about the fundamentals of GIS and spatial analysis this semester. Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and spatial analysis 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 […]

We all had this: "My program is too slow". We all have heard: "Use Fortran and C++, they are fast." But will it really help? We all have heard also: "Don't bother, use Python and R on a better computer", and "HPC clusters are fast". But what does "better" and "fast" even mean? In […] |

OVERVIEW This workshop will go over methods and best practices for running machine learning applications on Great Lakes. We will briefly outline machine learning before stepping through a hands-on example problem to load a project and submit a job to the HPC cluster. Participants are expected to be familiar with Python, the command line, and […] |

OVERVIEW This workshop will provide a gentle introduction to using the multiprocessing package in Python for parallelizing and speeding up code. We will use hands-on programming exercises to demonstrate how to quickly get started with commonly used components of the multiprocessing package. Note that a Great Lakes account is optional for this workshop, but you […]

This is a continuation of the workshop "Introduction to performance analysis of scientific software". Now, we know how to measure overall performance of our software and can make a good guess of the main performance bottleneck. How can we improve the performance? Do we really need to rewrite the whole program in a different language? […] |
