Events & Trainings

OpenInfra Days are organized and hosted annually by local User Groups and companies in the ecosystem and are often one or two-day events with keynotes, breakout sessions, and even workshops.

This first OpenInfra Days North America, hosted by Indiana University, US, (https://go.iu.edu/oid-iu2024) is being jointly organized by participants from the United States, Mexico, and Canada. We encourage involvement from users and companies from these countries and hope to have lively networking and community-building from within North America.

This course introduces concepts of containers and covers common containerization tasks using the Charliecloud and Singularity container engines on the ACES cluster, a composable accelerator testbed at Texas A&M University.

HPC Monthly Workshop: Machine Learning and BIG DATA

October 15-16, 2024

The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to present a Machine Learning and Big Data workshop.

This workshop will focus on topics including big data analytics and machine learning with Spark, and deep  learning using Tensorflow.

This will be an IN PERSON event hosted by various satellite sites, there WILL NOT be a direct to desktop option for this event.  The satellite site list(subject to change) is as follows

If you're in need of assistance with Jetstream2 and would like to discuss an issue or idea directly with our team, please consider dropping in to Jetstream2 office hours. These will be held on Tuesdays from 2-3PM ET (dates subject to change for holidays, trainings, or other events).

Join Jetstream2 Office Hours on Zoom

Whether you're just getting started with Jetstream2 or an experienced user, these sessions are for you. Come meet our support team and get answers to your Jetstream2 questions in real time.

This short course (2.5 hours) provides an overview of Intel PVC GPUs, guidance on accessing these GPUs on the ACES computing cluster at Texas A&M High Performance Research Computing, and demonstrations of running AI/ML models with the GPUs using PyTorch and Tensorflow. 

Prerequisites: Current ACCESS ID; basic Linux/Unix skills; basic understanding of machine learning concepts, neural networks, and deep learning; familiarity with deep learning frameworks TensorFlow and/or PyTorch. 

Hosted by the OSG Facilitation team, this training will cover an introduction to the Pegasus Workflow Management System, which is a useful tool for researchers needing to execute a large number of jobs or complex workflows. 

Attendees will learn how to construct and manage workflows, capabilities like automatic data transfers, and higher level tooling to analyze the workflow performance.

While registration is closed, session materials are hosted on the ALCF AI Science Training series GitHub [click here].
