This workshop will cover GIS concepts and techniques for analyzing geometric networks embedded in geographical space. We will mainly focus on road network, but the ideas and techniques apply to similar network such as the water and electricity distribution networks and gas pipelines. We will use open source tools in R and QGIS. You should […]
Numerical Simulations of Turbulence in Heated Fluids
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 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 […]
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.

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: […]
