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? […]
Audience: Stata users familiar with data management who want an overview of the new data management features introduced in Stata 16. We'll cover the two main data management features introduced in Stata 16. 1) Frames - holding multiple data sets in memory simultaneously. 2) Variable lists - formalizing creation and storage of lists of variables.

She currently holds the Robert Mehrabian Interdisciplinary Endowed Chair in the College of Engineering. After receiving her Ph.D. degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at Cornell University in […]
QGIS is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS). You can visualize, manage, edit, analyze data, and compose printable maps. The workshop will use R. This workshop is part of the Scientific Computing Student Club’s (SC2) 2020 Visualization Challenge. It is the second workshop in the series. Learn more about the workshop series and the Visualization […]
People using R for applied research are often not taught basic programming practices such as writing functions, efficient iterative processing, vectorization, and other practices that would make their research far more efficient and reproducible. Understandably, focus is on basic data manipulation and getting model results. Unfortunately, this can mean the data isn’t as explored as it should […]
The Rcpp package for R provides “seamless R and C++ integration”. In this workshop, we will discuss the use of Rcpp to speed up existing R code by rewriting slow functions in C++. The workshop will be centered around a couple of case studies with an opportunity provided for participants to implement a few of their […]
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 […]
This workshop will provide some tools, tips, and packages that make data processing and visualization in R easier. Some coding experience is required – not necessarily R. Instructor: Dr. Michael Clark, Consultant, Consulting for Statistics, Computing and Analytic Research (CSCAR) Space is limited. Learn more and register here.
Bio: Anna Vainchtein is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh. She is generally interested in mathematical modeling and analysis of nonlinear phenomena in materials science, physics and biology. Examples include dynamics of phase boundaries, cracks and dislocations in crystals, hysteresis in phase-transforming materials, solitary and heteroclinic traveling waves in nonlinear […]
Bio: Bo Zhu is an assistant professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College. Prior to that, he was a postdoctoral associate at MIT CSAIL. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2015. His research interests encompass computer graphics, computational physics, and computational fabrication. In particular, he focuses on building computational approaches […]
