Kubernetes is a popular container orchestration system that has seen massive adoption in both industry and academic IT departments. Long available in the Clouds, it has recently also become the main interface for several deployed and upcoming large-scale scientific compute facilities, like the Prototype National Research Platform (PNRP). The aim of this webinar is to provide science users that currently rely on traditional batch systems, like SLURM and HTCondor, a solid foundation that will allow them to effectively use Kubernetes-managed resources.

We are excited to announce the first ACES researcher-facing Workshop! The workshop will be held on July 12-15, 2023 in the South Shore Harbour Resort and Conference Center near Houston, Texas.

The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to present an OpenACC GPU programming workshop, sponsored by ACCESS.

We are excited to announce that the CIML Summer Institute will be held in-person at the University of California, San Diego.

Are you running out of resources on your local machine? While Jupyter Notebooks has become the de facto software environment for interactive data analysis, visualization, and machine learning, running notebooks on an HPC system is challenging. We demonstrate the Galyleo command-line tool and the Expanse Portal to run Jupyter Notebooks on Expanse. The Expanse portal provides an integrated and easy-to-use web interface to access Expanse HPC resources. We also cover setting up reproducible and transferable software environments from your local machine to Expanse using Conda.

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

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:

Looking to build a sustainability plan for your science gateway? Planning to write your next funding proposal? 

Join us at the next Focus Week to create your starter sustainability toolkit!

Look no further!

Join us for an exclusive webinar featuring ACCESS resource providers who specialize in scientific computing resources. Discover a variety of HPC systems and services that can help take your science gateway to the next level. Save time on analyzing what resources best fit your science gateway's needs. From this talk, you will learn about the solutions available and find the perfect fit (or perfect mixture) for your unique needs.

You will hear about the following HPC resources:

Singularity is a container platform that allows you, as an HPC user, to pack the applications and libraries into a single container (as a Singularity image). With the Singularity image, you can share, move and reproduce the application you build in the container. You can also build the image outside the supercomputer cluster with your laptop, which will give you complete control over choosing any major Linux distributions and system libraries and can decide how to install the application you need.

Anvil Open OnDemand 101 is for students, staff, and faculty interested in transitioning from using local computing resources to using the ACCESS Anvil cluster via Open OnDemand. No prerequisite knowledge is required.

Topic Overview:

• Background on clusters and Open OnDemand
• Navigating Open OnDemand
• Launching interactive apps

OSC Workshop Series with NVIDIA & ACCESS

The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) in collaboration with NVIDIA & ACCESS will host a workshop on Monday, May 1, 2023 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m US Eastern Time.

Join Globus for the annual GlobusWorld conference, April 25-27, 2023 – in Chicago or online!

GlobusWorld brings together researchers, systems administrators, developers and IT leaders from top research computing centers, national labs, federal agencies, and universities around the world. The event is designed to provide new insights into managing research data and storage at scale, as well as building cutting-edge data portals and science gateways.

The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to announce a one day, Shared Memory Programming Using OpenMP workshop sponsored by ACCESS. This workshop is intended to give C and Fortran programmers a hands-on introduction to OpenMP programming. Attendees will leave with a working knowledge of how to write scalable codes using OpenMP.

Deep learning neural networks have become a prominent tool in science and machine learning. This webinar will provide a brief overview of the main concepts of neural networks and feature discovery. We will also demonstrate the basic convolution neural network for digit recognition using TensorFlow and try to get an intuition about how the network performs and what defines deep learning in practice. We will also review some useful notes on running deep networks on HPCs, such as using tensorboard, notebooks, and batch jobs. 

A live tutorial on machine learning and deep learning framework using TensorFlow, Keras and Scikit-Learn.

As the volume of data generated continues to explode, the need to move data quickly and reliably for analysis, collaboration, and storage increases. Whether you want to move data off expensive instruments, sync data between local and remote resources, publish data to portals, or even archive data for long-term preservation, automating the data handling will reduce obstacles and make the data available to others more quickly. In this webinar you will learn some best practices and automation techniques. Learn how to:

This live webinar is targeted toward researchers with the largest-scale computational, analysis, and storage needs. Join the ACCESS Allocations team on Tuesday, April 4 @ 3PM ET, as they detail the required components, review criteria, and other necessary information to craft a successful request.

Requests are due on April 15 and successful requests will begin or renew on July 1. For more information on "Maximize" requests, please see the website.
