Description

Short abstract:

Scientific Visualization allows researchers to gain visual insights into complex data, that would otherwise be hidden within numbers and models. This is especially true for data describing physical phenomena, from blood flow simulations to combustion processes. The de-facto standard tool for visualization in these domains is ParaView. It is an open-source, multi-platform scientific data analysis and visualization tool that enables analysis and visualization of extremely large datasets.

In this course, attendants will learn the basics of scientific visualization and how these can be applied in ParaView, including filtering, rendering, and animating complex data.

Description

The Carpentries project comprises the Software CarpentryData Carpentry, and Library Carpentry communities of Instructors, Trainers, Maintainers, helpers, and supporters who share a mission to teach foundational computational and data science skills to researchers.

Want to learn more and stay engaged with The Carpentries? Carpentries Clippings is The Carpentries’ biweekly newsletter, where we share community news, community job postings, and more. Sign up to receive future editions and read our full archive: https://carpentries.org/newsletter/

Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts and tools, including program design, version control, data management, and task automation. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

For more information on what we teach and why, please see our paper “Best Practices for Scientific Computing“.

The course is aimed at graduate students and other researchers. Priority will be given to students and researchers from Universities and research institutions in the region served by the DKZ.2R , as well as members of the NFDI4Microbiota consortium however all are welcome to register. You don’t need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop.

Parallel Computing with MATLAB on the CLAIX Cluster

April 16th, 2024 | by

We are excited to announce the continuation of the successful collaboration between HPC.NRW and MathWorks for the third consecutive year, offering a comprehensive series of four workshops designed to empower researchers, engineers, and scientists. This unique series aims to enhance skills in high-performance computing (HPC), software development for research, and artificial intelligence (AI) with MATLAB.

The second part of the Parallel Computing with MATLAB series focuses on walking users through accessing the cluster, setting up a cluster profile, and submitting sample jobs.  FastX is used to launch MATLAB interactively, where users are shown how to set job submission arguments before running both single node and multi node jobs.  Users will follow along and submit various CPU-only jobs before discussion moves to using GPUs. Additionally, users will learn how to debug and troubleshoot if any errors appear.

Workshop Series

  1. Parallel Computing with MATLAB
  2. Parallel Computing with MATLAB on the CLAIX Cluster (this course)
  3. Introduction to Research Software Development with MATLAB
  4. AI for Predictive Maintenance
