SUMMARY:Research Computing on the Great Lakes Cluster
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\nLecture notes\nGreat Lakes HPC cluster \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. \nUSER LOGIN\nIf you don’t already have a Great Lakes user login\, please visit the application page. \nPlease note that obtaining a user account requires human processing\, so be sure to do this at least two business days before class begins. \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. \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. \nLAPTOP PREPARATION\nYou do not need to bring your own laptop to class. The classroom will provide 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 (those instructions apply to Great Lakes as well). 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.

SUMMARY:Programming with R
DESCRIPTION: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 be\, or other opportunities are lost (e.g. feature engineering)\, because of the presumed effort that would be required to deal with the data more fully. \nThis workshop will help you get more out of R so that you can take your efforts to the next level.\n\nPrereq: Some basic experience using R is required.  You should know how to create and manipulate objects\, run basic analyses\, etc.  This could also be useful to anyone with programming experience in another language like Python.

SUMMARY:Mediation Models: A demonstration using multiple packages
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nFortunately there are a variety of packages in R that can do mediation analysis\, often using straightforward code and familiar models or other tools.  This presentation will demonstrate a variety of ways in which to do a standard mediation model in R (and Python)\, and discuss the available complexities that can be handled with the tools\, as well as their corresponding strengths and weaknesses.\n\nNote that this is not an introduction to mediation analysis\, but is a demonstration of tools.  Some familiarity with R and mediation models will be assumed.

SUMMARY:Back to a Future: Asynchronous Computing with futures in R
DESCRIPTION: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 efficiently make use of available computing resources.  At the same time\, futures can also be used to make interactive data analyses more time efficient.  \n In this workshop\, we’ll discuss futures as implemented in the R package “future” and provide example use cases for both interactive analysis and batch processing.

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: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: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.

SUMMARY:R package demo: gganimate and patchwork
DESCRIPTION:This brief workshop will demonstrate the capabilities of two recent R packages\, gganimate and patchwork. One package allows the data explorer to provide some lively enhancement to an otherwise static plot\, without doing much more than standard plots with ggplot2. Likewise\, the other package can seamlessly combine multiple ggplots of varying kinds into one cohesive visualization. \nPrior knowledge of ggplot2 is required\, but not much else. Note also that this is just a demo. No statistical or analytical concepts will be discussed\, and while participation is certainly welcomed\, one can simply watch the demonstration.

SUMMARY:Advanced batch computing on the Flux cluster
DESCRIPTION:This course will cover some more advanced topics in cluster computing on the U-M Flux Cluster. Topics to be covered include a review of common parallel programming models and basic use of Flux; dependent and array scheduling; advanced troubleshooting and analysis using checkjob\, qstat\, and other tools; and parallel debugging and profiling of C and Fortran code\, including logging\, gdb (line-oriented debugging)\, ddt (GUI-based debugging) and map (GUI-based profiling) of MPI and OpenMP programs. We will issue you a temporary allocation to use for the course\, or you can use your existing Flux allocations\, if any. \nCourse Prerequisites:  Introduction to Batch Computing on Flux or equivalent. This course assumes familiarity with the Linux command line\, text editing on Linux\, and a basic understanding of Flux including how to submit and track jobs. \nPlease use our class mailing list hpc101course@umich.edu for questions\, comments\, or to seek further assistance.

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. \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.
