  • Back to a Future: Asynchronous Computing with futures in R

    Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001A

    Asynchronous computing is an umbrella term encompassing parallel and concurrent computational programs in which some tasks can be executed without a strict sequential order.  A future is a programming abstraction for a value that may be available at some future point in time and allows.  Like other forms of parallelism, futures are a powerful tool for writing programs that […]

    Mediation Models: A demonstration using multiple packages

    Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001A

    Mediation models are commonly applied in a variety of modeling settings, and people will typically flock to tools specific to structural equation modeling like Mplus or Amos for analysis.  However, not only are such tools not necessary for the more common implementations of mediation, they are often limiting and have various drawbacks. Fortunately there are […]

    Introduction to Performance Analysis of Scientific Software

    Rackham Building, Earl Lewis Room, 3rd Floor East 915 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    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 […]

    SC2 Workshop Series: Intro to Jugular: Virtual Reality and 3D Rendering

    U-M 3D Lab, Digital Media Commons, Duderstadt Center 2281 Bonisteel Blvd, Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    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.

    Research Computing on the Great Lakes Cluster

    Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001A

    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 […]
