"These notes are part of the UW Experimental College course on Introductory C Programming. They are based on notes prepared (beginning in Spring, 1995) to supplement the book The C Programming Language, by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, or K&R as the book and its authors are affectionately known. (The second edition was published in 1988 by Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-110362-8.) These notes are now (as of Winter, 1995-6) intended to be stand-alone, although the sections are still cross-referenced to those of K&R, for the reader who wants to pursue a more in-depth exposition." C is a low-level programming language that provides a deep understanding of how a computer's memory and hardware work. This knowledge can be valuable when optimizing apps for performance or when dealing with resource-constrained environments.C is often used as the foundation for creating cross-platform libraries and frameworks. Learning C can allow you to develop libraries that can be used across different platforms, including iOS, Android, and desktop environments.
This course takes through the fundamentals required to get started with reinforcement learning with Python, OpenAI Gym and Stable Baselines. You'll be able to build deep learning powered agents to solve a varying number of RL problems including CartPole, Breakout and CarRacing as well as learning how to build your very own/custom environment!
HPCwire is a prominent news and information source for the HPC community. Their website offers articles, analysis, and reports on HPC technologies, applications, and industry trends.
GPU training series for scientists, software engineers, and students, with emphasis on Earth science applications.
The content of this course is coordinated with the 6 month series of GPU Training sessions starting in Februrary 2022. The NVIDIA High Performance Computing Software Development Kit (NVHPC SDK) and CUDA Toolkit will be the primary software requirements for this training which will be already available on NCAR's HPC clusters as modules you may load. This software is free to download from NVIDIA by navigating to the NVHPC SDK Current Release Downloads page and the CUDA Toolkit downloads page. Any provided code is written specifically to build and run on NCAR's Casper HPC system but may be adapted to other systems or personal machines. Material will be updated as appropriate for the future deployment of NCAR's Derecho cluster and as technology progresses.
These slides provide an introduction on how Termius and Cursor, two new and freemium apps that use AI to perform more efficient work, can be used for faster HPC research.
