On Monday, September 7, this hands-on workshop provides a practical introduction to using Python effectively in HPC environments and equips participants with the knowledge needed to develop, run, and optimize Python workflows on modern computing clusters.

The workshop will cover the following topics:

  • Overview of key Python frameworks: Numpy, Scipy, Pandas, Pytorch, Tensorflow
  • Python performance fundamentals
  • Introduction to pip and Conda
  • Using pip and Conda on HPC clusters
  • Working with GPUs and other system resources
  • Parallel computing with Python

Documentation From User Experience

This post is a condensed version of a talk at our Data Compentcy College

If you regularly use scientific software written by others, or tried to replicate interesting research that relies on software, you have probably also invested weeks of work to solve a software problem or even given up on a software because of missing documentation. Finding a project that might be the solution to your problem and then failing to run the code is frustrating. Being unable to run a project you have built yourself years ago is even worse. Having experienced all those setbacks myself in the past I want to use this post to channel that frustration to fuel solutions for better documentation for our current and future projects.
