SUMMARY:Introduction to the Flux cluster and batch computing
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis workshop will provide a brief overview of the components of the Flux 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. \nPrerequisites\nObtain a user account on Flux. If you do not have a Flux user account\, click here to go to the account application page at: https://arc-ts.umich.edu/fluxform/ \nRegister for Duo authentication. See below for details. \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. \n \nInstructor\nBennet Fauber\nScientific Applications Analyst\nAdvanced Research Computing — Technology Services \nBennet Fauber is a member of the technical team that administers the Flux cluster. \nMaterials\nIn-class handouts\n\nOutput from qstat\nOutput from checkjob\nOutput from mdiag\nOutput from showq\n\nSupplementary materials\n\nFlux in Ten Easy Steps\nUsing PBS\nUsing software modules\nLinking libraries with applications\nEstablishing and managing a Flux project allocation\n\n\nCourse Preparation\nIn order to participate successfully in the workshop exercises\, you must have a Flux user account and be registered for the Duo authentication service. The user account allows you to log in to the cluster\, create\, compile\, and test applications\, and prepare Flux jobs for submission. Information about registering for Duo is at the ITS Two Factor Authentication web page. \nFlux user account\nA single Flux user account can be used to prepare and submit jobs using various allocations. If you already already possess a user account\, you can use it for this course\, you can skip to “Flux allocation” below. If not\, please visit https://arc-ts.umich.edu/fluxform to obtain one. A user account is free to members of the University community. Please note that obtaining an account requires human processing\, so be sure to do this at least two business days before class begins. \nFlux allocation\nWe create an allocation 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 allocation 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 Flux allocation\, you can use that\, though if there are any issues with that allocation\, we will ask you to use the workshop allocation. \nLaptop Preparation\nThe classroom contains Windows computers\, which require your uniqname and UMICH password to login\, and which have all necessary software preloaded. \nIf you want to use a laptop for the course\, you are welcome to do so. However\, if there are problems connecting your laptop\, you will be asked to switch to the provided computer for the class. We will try to help resolve issues after the workshop. \nIf you want to try to prepare your laptop for use in the class\, please see our web page on Preparing your laptop to use Flux. If you have a Windows computer\, we recommend that you install PuTTY/WinSCP from the Blue Disc web site. Macintosh computers typically have the minimum requirements installed as part of the system. \nMore help\nPlease use our class mailing list hpc101course@umich.edu for questions\, comments\, or to seek further assistance.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Michael Shelley\, Courant Institute\, New York University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Michael J. Shelley is an American applied mathematician who works on the modeling and simulation of complex systems arising in physics and biology. He holds a BA in Mathematics from the University of Colorado (1981) and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Arizona (1985). He was a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University\, and then joined the faculty of mathematics at the University of Chicago. In 1992 he joined the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University where he is the George and Lilian Lyttle Professor of Applied Mathematics. He is also a Professor of Neuroscience (NYU) and Professor of Mechanical Engineering (NYU-Poly). \nProfessor Shelley’s work includes free-boundary problems in fluids and materials science\, singularity formation in partial differential equations\, modeling visual perception in the primary visual cortex\, dynamics of complex and active fluids\, cellular biophysics\, and fluid-structure interaction problems such as the flapping of flags\, stream-lining in nature\, and flapping flight. He is also the co-founder and co-director of the Courant Institute’s Applied Mathematics Lab. \nSource https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Shelley_(mathematician) \nModeling and Simulating Active Mechanics in the Cell\nMany fundamental phenomena in eukaryotic cells — nuclear migration\, spindle positioning\, chromosome segregation — involve the interaction of (often transitory) cellular structures with boundaries and fluids. Understanding the consequences of these interactions require specialized numerical methods for their large-scale simulation\, as well as mathematical modeling and analysis. In this context\, I will discuss the recent interactions of mathematical modeling and large-scale\, detailed simulations with experimental measurements of activity-driven Biomechanical processes within the cell.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Michael Falk\, Department of Materials Science and Engineering\, Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Michael Falk is a professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University where he also serves as the Vice Dean for Undergraduate Education. He holds a bachelor’s degree in physics and a master’s degree in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins. He completed his Ph.D. in physics at the University of California\, Santa Barbara and then launched his academic career as a computational materials scientist at the University of Michigan in 2000. In 2008 he returned to Johns Hopkins as an associate professor of Materials Science and Engineering with joint appointments in Mechanical Engineering and Physics. Prof. Falk’s research focuses on utilizing computer simulation on the atomic scale to understand the processes by which materials are pushed out of equilibrium by processes such as bending\, breaking\, charging and undergoing frictional sliding. His research has had an abiding focus on the ways glass structures accommodate plastic flow\, deformation and fracture. These investigations have involved developing new methodologies for deploying molecular dynamics simulations and the development of thermodynamically motivated constitutive theories. Prof. Falk also engages in educational research and is a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion\, engaging in outreach to Baltimore City elementary schools and advocating for a welcoming climate for LGBTQ people within the engineering and physics professions. \nConnecting atomistic simulations\, defect-based theories and continuum plasticity in amorphous solids\nGlasses\, and the more general category of materials known as amorphous solids\, lack crystal structure and find wide application from consumer goods to photovoltaics. Yet\, issues quantifying disorder have stymied the construction of physically grounded mechanical constitutive laws for these materials suitable for failure prediction. Atomistic simulation methods can provide some insight regarding the mechanisms of plastic deformation and strain localization. Recent investigations have aimed at quantifying the defects that control plastic flow by quantifying a yield stress field at the nanometer scale. Analysis of these fields have confirmed some of the assumptions built into the shear transformation zone theory of amorphous plasticity\, most notably the orientational nature of the defect and their pre-existence in the structure. I will further discuss methods for quantitatively predicting strain localization\, a limiting failure process in high-strength metallic glasses and other amorphous materials by parameterizing the effective-temperature shear transformation zone theory from molecular dynamics simulations. We have directly cross-compared molecular dynamics simulations and continuum representations of these same materials in order to test and validate our constitutive theories. The role of coarse graining in the linkage of continuum and atomistic methods is crucial\, and convergence only arises above a critical length scale on the order of tens of angstroms. The investigation makes clear the need to separate out the relevant fluctuations in material structure from the shorter wavelength fluctuations that serve to obscure them. It is\, in the end\, the interactions between these larger-scale relevant fluctuations via the material’s mechanical response that controls the failure process during strain localization. \nProf. Falk is being hosted by Prof. Yue Fan (Mechanical Engineering).

SUMMARY:Parallel Processing with Python
DESCRIPTION:Modern computers have a CPU with multiple cores (usually between 4-8). Come learn how to take advantage of them to parallelize and speed up your code. We’ll show you how to structure your code so you can parallelize it in 5 lines or less. We will also cover some theory\, a few practical considerations along with some basic exercises. We’ll be using the multiprocessing module in Python. The workshop is intended for users with basic Python knowledge. The workshop assumes you know how to do the following in Python: i) write a for loop\, ii) write a function that has inputs and outputs.  Anaconda Python 3.5 will be used.
