Introduction to TRITON Workshops 11/7 or 12/13/2019

The University of Miami has unleashed Triton to the research community. Using the same AI-optimized architecture as the world’s most powerful supercomputer, Triton is UM’s first GPU-accelerated HPC system, representing a new approach to computational and data science. Built using IBM Power Systems AC922 servers, Triton was designed to maximize data movement between the IBM POWER9 CPU and attached accelerators, enabling students, researchers, and analysts to explore new possibilities.

2-Day Python Workshop 11/11-12/2019 Medical Campus

Trained instructors lead a comprehensive, hands-on overview of an introductory data analysis using Python, covering topics like data types, functions, conditional statements, loops, errors and exceptions, debugging, and some key Python libraries and writing Python programs that will work like Linux command-line tools. This workshop is designed to provide a foundation of basic concepts that all programming depends on, using Python as an example. Read more “2-Day Python Workshop 11/11-12/2019 Medical Campus” →

2-Day “R” Workshop 12/2-3/2019 RSMAS Campus

Trained instructors lead a comprehensive, hands-on overview of what is possible with R, using an example dataset. Go from reading data into R to data types, functions, conditional statements, loops, how to write in RMarkdown, as well as best practices for writing R code that others can understand and use. This workshop is designed to provide a foundation of basic concepts that all programming depends on, using R as an example. Read more “2-Day “R” Workshop 12/2-3/2019 RSMAS Campus” →
