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 this […]
Learn how to format, load and visualize your data in 3D. Jugular works in U-M M.I.D.E.N., the Occulus Rift and any desktop window. The U-M 3D Lab will teach this workshop and show us the available tools in-house. This workshop is part of the Scientific Computing Student Club's (SC2) 2020 Visualization Challenge. Learn more about […]
Bio: Jacqueline H. Chen is a Senior Scientist at the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories. She has contributed broadly to research in turbulent combustion elucidating turbulence-chemistry interactions in combustion through direct numerical simulations. To achieve scalable performance of DNS on heterogeneous computer architectures she leads an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, applied mathematicians […]
OVERVIEW This workshop will provide a brief overview of the components of the Great Lakes Cluster. The main body of the workshop will cover the resource manager and scheduler, creating submissions scripts to run jobs and the options available in them, and hands-on experience. By the end of the workshop, every participant should have created […]
Boston University, Duke University, and the University of Michigan have organized the 2019 Computational Mechanics Workshop to solicit and synthesize directions for computational mechanics research and education in the United States over the next decade and beyond from a diverse cross section of scientists and engineers. Topics to discuss include the following four broad themes: […]

Ever want to know how to communicate with a database? You need to know SQL, a standard programming language for working with relational database management systems in data warehouses or just Microsoft Access. This workshop will cover the basic syntax of SQL. Material will focus mainly on how to query databases. A web-based tool will […]
Bio: Sanjay Govindjee is the Horace, Dorothy, and Katherine Johnson Professor in Engineering. His main interests are in theoretical and computational mechanics with an emphasis on micro-mechanics of nonlinear phenomena in solid materials. He was the winner of the inaugural Zienkiewicz Prize and Medal in 1998 and more recently received a 2018 Alexander von Humboldt Foundation […]

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are used as a machine learning method for both regression and classification problems. Keras is a high-level, Python interface running on top of multiple neural network libraries, including the popular library TensorFlow. In this workshop, participants will learn how to quickly use the Keras interface to perform nonlinear regression and classification […]
