Leveraging modeling hierarchies in the Exascale era: applications to combustion technologies

GIS Fundamentals – Height and Vertical Datum

Your Desktop

Understanding how heights are measured and recorded in GIS systems are essential for many applied tasks such as modeling flood risk due to sea level rise. In this workshop we will understand vertical datums, the concept of height, and what do terms like orthometric height and ellipsoid height mean. This will be a lecture-style workshop […]

XSEDE HPC HPC Summer Boot Camp

Your Desktop

OVERVIEW XSEDE, along with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to present a Hybrid Computing workshop. This 4 day event will include MPI, OpenMP, GPU programming using OpenACC and accelerators. This workshop will be remote to desktop only due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  When the registration has filled, there will be no more students added […]

Image Segmentation using Deep Learning with FastAI

Your Desktop

Like other image processing problems, deep learning has brought many effective solutions to the task of image segmentation. This workshop will introduce you to the methods used in image segmentation, demonstrate how to prepare your own segmentation masks using Matlab, and guide you through performing image segmentation using the FastAI Python library, which is built on the deep […]

GIS Fundamentals – Understanding and manipulating elevation data

Your Desktop

Elevation data can come in the form of point (e.g. from LiDAR), digital elevation model (DEM), or triangulated irregular network (TIN). In this workshop we will focus on DEM and TIN. We will learn about each model and related data structure, their relative strengths, the kind of information they provide, and how to obtain downstream […]

Introduction to the Linux Command Line

Your Desktop

OVERVIEW This course will familiarize the student with the basics of accessing and interacting with Linux computers using the GNU/Linux operating system’s Bash shell, also generically referred to as “the command line”. Topics include: a brief overview of Linux, the Bash shell, navigating the file system, basic commands, shell redirection, permissions, processes, and the command […]

Introduction to Research Computing on the Great Lakes Cluster

Your Desktop

OVERVIEW This workshop will introduce you to high performance computing on the Great Lakes cluster.  After a brief overview of the components of the cluster and the resources available there, the main body of the workshop will cover creating batch scripts and the options available to run jobs, and hands-on experience in submitting, tracking, and interpreting the […]
