SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: H. Metin Aktulga\, Assistant Professor\, Computer Science and Engineering\, Michigan State University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: H. Metin Aktulga received his B.S. degree from Bilkent University in 2004\, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Purdue University in 2009 and 2010\, respectively; all in Computer Science. Before joining the Michigan State University (MSU) in 2014\, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Research Division at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab. He directs the Scalable Parallel Technologies and Algorithms (SParTA) Lab at MSU. Research in the SParTA Lab focuses on HPC and applications of HPC\, specifically on the design and development of algorithms\, numerical methods and software systems that can harness the full potential of state-of-the-art computing platforms to address challenging problems in large scale scientific computations and big-data analytics problems. Dr. Aktulga’s research is supported by NSF\, DOE\, AFRL\, NIH and the MSU Foundation. He is the recipient of the NSF CAREER award in 2019. \nTowards Fast\, Scalable and High Fidelity Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations\nReactive molecular dynamics (RMD) models bridge quantum-scale and classical MD approaches by explicitly modeling bond activity and redistribution of charges. As such they enable the study of important phenomena which otherwise is impractical using classical or quantum techniques. However\, RMD models have a significantly complex formulation\, making fast\, scalable and high fidelity RMD simulations extremely challenging to achieve. In this talk\, I will present our work towards addressing both the scalability and fidelity challenges. I will start by describing the parallel algorithms and numerical techniques that we developed for a fast implementation of the Reax Force Field (ReaxFF)\, which is used by hundreds of researchers worldwide. Particular emphasis will be on novel solvers we recently developed for the dynamic charge distribution problem that constitutes the most important scalability bottleneck in large RMD simulations. I will conclude the talk by outlining our efforts towards addressing the fidelity challenge\, i) through an automated force field framework for RMD models\, ii) by developing a novel hybrid ReaxFF/AMBER simulation software in the spirit of QM/MM techniques. \nProf. Aktulga is being hosted by the Glotzer Lab (Chemical Engineering). If you would like to meet with him during his visit\, please send an email to micde-events@umich.edu. If you are an MICDE students\, or a Chemical Engineering graduate student\, and would like to join Prof. Aktulga for lunch\, please RSVP here by September 23rd.  \n

SUMMARY:Introduction to Deep Neural Networks with Keras/TensorFlow
DESCRIPTION: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 with standard fully-connected DNNs\, as well as image classification using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We will also look at regularization techniques and how to deal with under- and over-fitting. All examples will use Python; some familiarity with Python is recommended. Computers will be available to complete exercises. We will run the models using Google Colab\, which requires a Google account.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Ramanathan Vishnampet\, Senior Research Engineer\, ExxonMobil Upstream Integrated Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Ramanathan Vishnampet is a Computational Data Scientist at the Global Business Lines Analytics & Optimization group at ExxonMobil Upstream Integrated Solutions. He graduated with a Ph.D. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, where his dissertation focused on an exact and consistent adjoint method for high-fidelity discretization of the compressible flow equations. Ramanathan started as a Senior Research Engineer at ExxonMobil in 2015\, where he worked in the Process Stratigraphy team\, an integrated team including Computational Scientists\, Geoscientists\, Seismic Interpreters\, and Stratigraphers. He helped develop a physics-based stratigraphic model for studying deepwater stratigraphy and showed the emergence of chaotic dynamics and self-organization that limit the ability of traditional model inversion techniques to be applied to the forward model. In his current team\, Ramanathan is working on a scheduling problem for ExxonMobil’s Unconventionals asset base using heuristics and discrete optimization. He is also leading his section’s efforts in adopting lean and agile software development practices\, cloud-based deployment using a service architecture\, and DevOps processes. Ramanathan’s hobbies include cooking\, traveling\, and spending time with his daughter. \nPrediction under chaos using a depth-averaged model of turbidity currents\nIn this talk\, I will demonstrate a forward stratigraphic model based on depth-averaged governing equations for the flow of submarine turbidity currents over an erodible bed. This model is being used with some success by the Process Stratigraphy team at ExxonMobil to generate stratigraphic models for deepwater environments of deposition. The mathematical model consists of a system of nonlinear hyperbolic PDEs\, with an additional so-called Exner equation for modeling the flow-bed sediment exchange and their bedload transport. The Exner equation plays a key role since a (slow time scale) change in the gradient of the bed influences the (fast time scale) momentum of the flow. The transport equations\, along with closure models for sediment transport\, TKE balance\, and water entrainment\, are solved using a first-order finite-volume method with a HLLC approximate Riemann solver and integrated using an explicit Euler scheme. The model shows the emergence of self-organized patterns in the deposits\, including the creation of bedforms\, channel formation\, and avulsions\, consistent with observations of modern systems and lab experiments. These occur even with uniform boundary conditions and symmetric initial conditions. The initial disturbances that trigger these mechanisms are ostensibly sourced by floating-point roundoff errors. An ensemble of simulations with slightly different initial conditions are used to analyze statistics on shapes of geomorphic elements and grain size distributions. The objective is to assess whether and under what conditions such a numerical model can be predictive and quantify the uncertainty in the results arising due to the irreducible chaos in the dynamical system. \nDr. Vishnampet is being hosted by Prof. Capecelatro (ME). If you would like to meet with him during his visit\, please send an email to micde-events@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Research Computing on the Great Lakes cluster
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will provide a brief overview of the the new HPC environment and is intended for current Flux and Armis users.  We will use the temporary Beta HPC cluster to demonstrate how jobs will be submitted and managed under the new Great Lakes\, Armis2\, and Lighthouse clusters available later this year. \nThere are many differences between the familiar Flux environment and that of the new HPC clusters\, including a new batch scheduling system\, a new interactive batch job environment\, a new HPC web portal\, a new module environment\, and a new on-demand-only job accounting system. \nWe will cover these differences in the workshop\, and provide hands-on training in creating and running job submission scripts in the new HPC environment.  Students are expected to be conversant with the Linux command line and have experience in creating\, submitting\, and troubleshooting PBS batch scripts.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Great Lakes cluster and batch computing with Slurm
DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEW\nThis 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 a submission script\, submitted a job\, tracked its progress\, and collected its output. Participants will have several working examples from which to build their own submissions scripts in their own home directories. \nPRE-REQUISITES\nThis course assumes familiarity with the Linux command line as might be got from the CSCAR/ARC-TS workshop Introduction to the Linux Command Line. In particular\, participants should understand how files and folders work\, be able to create text files using the nano editor\, be able to create and remove files and folders\, and understand what input and output redirection are and how to use them. \nINSTRUCTORS\nDr. Charles J Antonelli\nResearch Computing Services\nLSA Technology Services \nCharles is a High Performance Computing Consultant in the Research Computing Services group of LSA TS at the University of Michigan\, where he is responsible for high performance computing support and education\, and was an Advocate to the Departments of History and Communications. Prior to this\, he built a parallel data ingestion component of a novel earth science data assimilation system\, a secure packet vault\, and worked on the No. 5 ESS Switch at Bell Labs in the 80s. He has taught courses in operating systems\, distributed file systems\, C++ programming\, security\, and database application design. \nJohn Thiels\nResearch Computing Services\nLSA Technology Services \nMark Champe\nResearch Computing Services\nLSA Technology Services \nMATERIALS\n\nLecture notes\nGreat Lakes Slurm HPC cluster\n\n\nCOURSE PREPARATION\nIn order to participate successfully in the workshop exercises\, you must have a user login\, a Slurm account\, and be enrolled in Duo. The user login allows you to log in to the cluster\, create\, compile\, and test applications\, and prepare jobs for submission. The Slurm account allows you to submit those jobs\, executing the applications in parallel on the cluster and charging their resource use to the account. Duo is required to help authenticate you to the cluster. \n\nUSER LOGIN\nIf you already have a Flux user login\, you don’t need to do anything.  Otherwise\, go to the Flux user login application page at: https://arc-ts.umich.edu/fluxform/ . \nPlease note that obtaining a user account requires human processing\, so be sure to do this at least two business days before class begins. \n\nSLURM ACCOUNT\nWe create a Slurm account for the workshop so you can run jobs on the cluster during the workshop and for one day after for those who would like additional practice. The workshop job account is quite limited and is intended only to run examples to help you cement the details of job submission and management. If you already have an existing Slurm account\, you can use that\, though if there are any issues with that account\, we will ask you to use the workshop account. \n\nDUO AUTHENTICATION\nDuo two-factor authentication is required to log in to the cluster. When logging in\, you will need to type your UMICH (AKA Level 1) password as well as authenticate through Duo in order to access Great Lakes. \nIf you need to enroll in Duo\, follow the instructions at Enroll a Smartphone or Tablet in Duo. \nPlease enroll in Duo before you come to class. \n\nLAPTOP PREPARATION\nYou do not need to bring your own laptop to class. The classroom contains Windows or Mac computers\, which require your uniqname and UMICH (AKA Level 1) password to login\, and that have all necessary software pre-loaded. \nIf you want to use a laptop for the course\, you are welcome to do so:  please see our web page on Preparing your laptop to use Flux. However\, if there are problems connecting your laptop\, you will be asked to switch to the provided computer for the class. We cannot stop to debug connection issues with personal or departmental laptops during the class. \nIf you are unable to attend the presentation in person we will be offering a link into the live course via BlueJeans. Please register as if attending in person.  This will put you on the wait list but we will get your account setup for remote attendance.

SUMMARY:Android Application Development: An Introduction to Android Studio
DESCRIPTION:Mobile app development is one of the biggest new industries of the last decade. If you are developing an app in Android for the first time\, the first option you will likely find is “Android Studio\,” a free integrated-developer-environment (IDE) provided directly by the Android team at Google\, using the Java programming language. It’s a good starting point for experienced programmers to build an Android app from scratch. \nWe will present a brief overview of the “Android Studio” environment\, and provide a step-by-step example to make an app with multiple activities and using built-in sensors. A familiarity with the Java programming language is recommended to get the most out of the seminar. Participants who want to program during the workshop are recommended to install “Android Studio” in advance and to bring their own laptops to use during the presentation.

SUMMARY:Android Application Development: An Overview
DESCRIPTION:Mobile app development is one of the biggest new industries of the last decade. As of 2017\, Google and Apple (the creators of Android and iOS\, respectively) confirmed a combined total of over 3 billion devices around the globe using their mobile operating systems. The capabilities and built-in sensors on modern smartphones also provide a new avenue to collect data or engage with participants in a non-invasive manner. It might seem intimidating to write a mobile app for the first time\, but the process is similar to writing software for a desktop computer\, which in itself isn’t as hard as you might think! \nWe will present a brief overview on developing Android apps\, the differences between Android and iOS development\, and provide quick demonstrations on how you can use a variety of available programming environments and languages to create an app. A basic familiarity with computer programming is recommended to get the most out of the seminar. This is not a in-depth workshop with the intention to have its participants program code alongside the presentation\, but meant to introduce available options for them to consider and to answer questions on the topic. Separate “hands-on” workshops will be provided later in the academic year based on audience feedback.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Geostatistics
DESCRIPTION:Geostatistics models continuous variation over geographical space. It is widely used for spatial interpolation. We will use R and ArcGIS to explore and develop an understanding of variogram and kriging and how they can be used for robust and unbiased interpolation of data over space. \nDepending on the interests of the participants\, the workshop will also touch upon the computational aspects involved in implementing geostatistical models for relatively large data.

SUMMARY:Spin Class: No Sweat Reports in R
DESCRIPTION:If you use R\, there’s a decent chance you are already familiar with using Rmarkdown files and the knitr package to create reports documenting your analyses. A lesser known but equally useful function distributed with the knitr package is spin\, which gives you the power of Rmarkdown directly from an R script. This is especially powerful when creating quick\, memorandum-style documents which may be heavy on analysis but light on text. The power of spin lies in making it easy to interleave code\, output\, and text including all the bells and whistles of Rmarkdown but without the extra work of writing a separate Rmd file. \nIn this workshop\, I’ll discuss the basics of spin and its relationship to Rmarkdown and then provide participants with hands-on experience spinning up elegant\, reproducible\, analytic reports.

SUMMARY:More Mixed Models
DESCRIPTION:In the R world\, lme4 is a great package for mixed model estimation\, and the most widely used for such models.  For standard settings\, few tools will do the trick as easily or as quickly\, and because of that\, its approach has been emulated in other packages and statistical programs.  However\, that ease and efficiency comes at a price of being able to do more complex models\, so at some point you may need to switch gears.  This workshop will demonstrate other ways to potentially get what you need. \nDemonstration will (potentially) include the following\, along with some discussion of strengths and/or drawbacks to use. \nglmmTMB: heterogenous variances\, autocorrelated residuals\, zero-inflated models\nrstanarm\, brms: bayesian approaches\nmgcv: additive effects\, robust models\, big data\nstatsmodels: in case you’re in the Python world. \nThis workshop assumes basic familiarity with mixed models\, and familiarity with R\, especially the lme4 package.  However\, this is a brief demonstration with a simple goal of bringing about awareness of other useful tools\, so one can simply attend to hear about them.
